Abstract

This paper analyzes the first commercialization report card to reflect the changes in the MEMS industry, which affect its performance. As MEMS has learned a great deal from the semiconductor industry, nanotechnology should learn from MEMS. Nanotechnology still will need venture capital money, which may prove especially challenging in raising the current financial market conditions. As an industry, it will need to create standards and road maps to help guide the participants. The MEMS report card has demonstrated a few significant advances in addressing the 14 critical success factors that are important in achieving successful commercialization. It is suggested that individuals interested in the commercialization of nanotechnology to become students of the evolution of both the semiconductor and MEMS industries.
