Abstract

The emerging MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) technologies are entering in an active phase of high volume production and successful commercial applications. The expertise and the qualification for space application of such devices have already begun. But these technologies are still recent and important efforts on the reliability issue have to be done. This paper defines the role oftechnological analysis in the actual MEMS design process. Afterwards, it presents MEMS technological analysis techniques developed at CNES applied to an open MEMS technology. In particular, it is shown how these technological analyses respond to designer needs and that the designer and the founder still need a strong interaction. We also present the MEMS reliability issue at CNES and replace it in the current world's one.
