STMicroelectronics has shipped over 8.5 billion MEMS chips and expects applications for MEMS chips in the wearable device, fitness/health monitoring and Internet of Things sectors to gain momentum, according to executive vice president Benedetto Vigna. Since the development of MEMS chips is likely targeting the IoT ecosystem, STMicroelectronics will aim to integrate its related technologies to connect core elements, including MEMS sensors, embedded processors, power management ICs and interface chips, for IoT applications, Vigna said.
