Abstract

Automotive electronics have been evolving and creating new control systems depending on many technologies including MEMS. Considering the trend of future automobile, MEMS technologies will be more important to realize safer and more eco-friendly vehicle. In the future vehicle, many advanced sensors are required, which are developed by not only MEMS technologies but also packaging, electronic circuit, and software technologies. These all related technologies are essential for product developments. In the presentation, a trend in automobile and MEMS, and activities in DENSO will be explained.
