Editorial: Design and analysis of CMOS-MEMS transducers

Throughout human history, certain technologies/discoveries (e.g., fire, wheel, agriculture, printing, etc.) have had an unparalleled effect on the lifestyle. Integrated Circuit (IC) technology had an imitable impact on day-to-day lives in the late 20th century. The rapid growth in the performance of computation and its related applications was possible due to the regular shrinking of transistor size following Moore’s law (Moore, 2006). There is a growing demand for low-power, high computation, high data rate, and wireless chips in industry, automobiles, hospitals, homes, and personal devices. The recent semiconductor shortage due to the pandemic disrupted manufacturing directly affects the economy of many countries (Saracco, 2022). This has resulted in renewed interest in the acquisition of semiconductor technologies around the world. The pervasive adoption of 5G communication systems, electronic vehicles, high-performance computing, virtual reality, and personal entertainment devices is constrained by the complex and expensive fabrication technology required to continue device scaling with more-Moore (Yeric, 2016).
