InSense Inc - Postdoctoral Research Fellowship

SBIR Award Title

SBIR Phase II: Monolithic CMOS-Integration of Electroplated Copper MEMS Inertial Sensors

SBIR Award Abstract

The broader impact/commercial potential of this project can lead to a revolution in the consumer electronics market<br/>(mobile handsets, tablets, game consoles and wearables), wherein high performance, low power, small footprint<br/>multisensing (not limited to inertial sensing) platforms with timing devices, are all directly microfabricated on a common<br/>ASIC substrate. Sensor fusion can produce unprecedented user experiences by using data collected from all sensors and<br/>processed using machine learning algorithms.... more
