Welcome to Illinois MicroTech! We are a second year club that aims to introduce the topic of microtechnology and cleanroom fabrication to students on campus.
What are MEMS?

MEMS (Micro Electronic Mechanical Systems) are like tiny machines built on computer chips, but instead of just processing data, they can sense, move, and interact with the world around them. Think of them as the hidden superheroes in your gadgets—like the sensors in your phone or the airbags in your car. They’re super small but do big things, making our tech smarter and more responsive. In short, MEMS are tiny devices that make a huge difference in everyday life!
