Market of lot According to Gartner, The IoT will include 26 billion units of "things" installed by 2020. Furthermore, there will be 10 billion units of things shipped in 2020 alone. Mobile phones, tablets and PCs are not considered. With wearables which are examples of the more visible things in the IoT the volumes are currently very small (less than 50 million units) and are expected to reach about 200 million units by 2020. A potential market of nearly $300 million. However, most importantly, the IoT in 2020 will be a very highly fragmented market and there will be no one dominant end application for sensors. But, there will be many different applications using sensors in low volumes, at least not in the volumes we have seen with smartphones. Per Strategy Analytics, the demand for automotive sensors will grow at 6.8% CAGR between 2012 and 2017, rising from $16.9 billion to $23.5 billion. Safety system growth is the largest driver of sensor growth through 2020. 6 HuaTian Technology (XI AN) CO., Ltd

MEMS Packaging Requirements (1) MEMS devices are more demanding on packaging than ICs due to their mechanical function, environmental interaction, and the applications. Specialized interface with the outside world and exposure to corrosive gases or fluids such as pressure sensors, fluidic devices Vacuum packaging, hermeticity Protection from moisture-sensitive capacitive devices will get signal errors High-temperature operation, such in-cylinder pressure sensors operating at 1000C Challenging assembly processes, such as wire bonding to vertical surfaces Sensitivity to vibration and shock during processing steps such as grinding or pick and place 8 HuaTian Technology (XI AN) CO., Ltd
MEMS Packaging Requirements (2) The type of MEMS product dictates the specific packaging requirements; even the same MEMS device could require different packaging for different markets including military, avionics, industrial process control. Automotive, medical, and consumer. Mechanical devices, such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, pressure sensors, microphones, resonators, and valves Optical devices such as mirrors, spectrometers, gas chromatographs, displays Fluidic devices such as reactors, pumps, filters, separators Bio/nano devices (sensors, actuators) 9 HuaTian Technology (XI AN) CO., Ltd
Process Challenges There are a number of process challenges for MEMS packaging Release and stiction Dicing Die handling Wafer level encapsulation Stress Outgasing 10 HuaTian Technology (XI AN) CO., Ltd
Test and Reliability Methods for reliability assessment of MEMS devices are still being developed, and the requirements are more complex than for ICs. Failure modes and mechanisms are more complex Number of potential failure modes and mechanisms is larger Some failures, such as collisions or sticking of movable parts, are transient and thus hard to identify or locate Packages contain multiple components, and MEMS device failure must be differentiated from and ASIC failure Failure criteria are device- and application-specific Standard destructive failure analysis can result in erroneous conclusions due to sample preparation problems, so physical analysis must often be combined with modeling Monitoring instruments may be exposed to the loading conditions, such as temperature excursions, mechanical shock, or vibration, and may need to be checked for degradation themselves 11 HuaTian Technology (XI AN) CO., Ltd

Lower Cost: Standard Platforms Package cost is a significant component; MEMS device cost drops quickly, the package and test become a larger percentage of total production cost. Package standardization is required to reduce cost MEMS companies can take advantages of their package optimization experience and mature production lines. Popular standard platforms: Laminate, Leadframe, and WLCSP 13 HuaTian Technology (XI AN) CO., Ltd
MEMS Packages and Laminate/PCB A lamination-based manufacturing process allows for a broader selection of materials and fabrication processes than silicon-based manufacturing, and therefore provides greater design freedom for producing functional microdevices. Laminate microphones RF micro-switch on PCB Flexible integrated microfluidics From Prof. Mark Bachman, University of California Irvine 14 HuaTian Technology (XI AN) CO., Ltd
