3 Introduction Result of IST project Based on Partners Presented at EWME 2000 in Aixen-Provence

4 Target groups The CD highlights a large number of industrial achievements, the associated technology and current applications, as well as detailed economic analysis. It therefore addresses Education Industry Finance Media

5 Organization of the CD Three main entries Markets, with an extended description of 8 major market areas of microsystems. Technologies, with in depth descriptions of 27 major fabrication processes used in microsystems technologies. Products, with an extended description of 10 industrially manufactured examples of microsystems. The three parts are highly interconnected through many hyperlinks

6 Features The CD contains Over 230 illustrated screens, of which 70 are animated and include audio tracks with more than 2 hours of spoken comments. A very fast glossary with more than 150 entries Many players are mentioned with internet links. The language can be switched between English, German and French at any time and any place in the CD.

7 Content

Markets 8 major markets, for each of which following information is given: why microsystems are used in the market, the main characteristics of this particular market, such as volumes, margins,

8 Markets 8 major markets, for each of which following information is given: why microsystems are used in the market, the main characteristics of this particular market, such as volumes, margins, regulations and constraints, market data today and in 2005 a list of major actors, with internet links. 32 illustrated screens for a good understanding of the markets of microsystems. Of particular importance for the promotion of microsystems.

9 Products 10 microsystem products with following criteria: Representative of major markets Industrially manufactured Made by relevant fabrication processes 76 illustrated screens and 56 minutes of animation show what microsystem products are today and where they are used.

Instrumentation Automotive Telecommunication Technology CMOS Bulk micromachining Thin films

Products (3) For each product, following parts are included: short description how it works fabrication process with hyperlinks to detailed process steps main applications

11 Products (3) For each product, following parts are included: short description how it works fabrication process with hyperlinks to detailed process steps main applications economic analysis, with value chain, roadmap, competing technologies and competitors Many animations, spoken comments and hyperlinks give an extensive description of the products.

Fabrication technologies For 27 fabrication processes, including the major silicon processes, LIGA, plastic replication, electroplating, laser micromachining and EDM, following information is given:

12 Fabrication technologies For 27 fabrication processes, including the major silicon processes, LIGA, plastic replication, electroplating, laser micromachining and EDM, following information is given: 105 illustrated screens and more than one hour of animation explain the major fabrication processes short description, the purpose of the process, how it works necessary equipment, with costs and major manufacturers

13 Use of the CD-ROM

14 Self training The main use of the CD-ROM is for education purpose. Students in microsystem technology can get a realistic overview and a complete summary of microsystems technologies and applications. The CD provides highly valuable information complementary to that of lectures and books.

15 Presentations Many professors use the CD- ROM to illustrate and complete their lectures. A slideshow can be edited for presentations A very useful tool is included to edit dedicated slideshows, in which personal pages can be inserted, with comments and titles.
