...se of polymeric materials in this area presents interesting alternatives not only for manufacturing, but also for joining and connecting of microsystems. Walter Michaeli Dirk Opfermann In addition to the continual advances in miniaturisation, the Nexus study identifies the increasing use of plastics as a trend in microsystems technology. Hardly any other materials group offers such a broad range of properties and permits these to be tailored to specific processing and application requirements [...

...injection moulded parts with an optimised injection unit and all necessary peripheral equipment. The Future Market of Microtechnique Worldwide expectations for microsystems technology are high (Fig. 2). The European microsystems technology network Nexus in Grenoble/France anticipates worldwide growth of just under 20% annually. According to a projection by Venture Development Corporation in the USA, the market for silicon components and microstructure technology alone will increase from its cu...

...or capillary electrophoresis). The most important user industries of micro-technology are the automotive industry, the consumer goods industry, medical technology, telecommunications and industrial process technology. These are the findings of a Nexus market study [1]. It estimates that the market for micro-technical products, starting from a base figure of 11.5 billion USD in 2004, will be worth 24 billion USD by 2009 (Fig. 1). Its analysis looked at the first level packaged MEMS/MST, i.e. the ...
