With the advancements in modern electronics technology, power generation and management has become a keyword for innovation. Despite some of the successful implementation of new technologies, modern electronic devices are becoming more and more energy demanding, and the need for a higher density energy generation and storage system together with a more efficient power conversion and management strategy are ever increasing. Power MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) deals with all of these aspects of modern micro power systems. By introducing the MEMS technology to conventional approaches for power generation and power electronics, many of the obstacles, such as the fabrication of complex micro structures and integration with the circuitry, can be overcome. In this talk, two examples of power MEMS, micro generators and MEMS components and microfabrication technologies for an integrated power electronics will be presented. MEMS-based, fully-integrated, airflow-driven, rotary permanent-magnet generators and airflow-driven vibratory generators have been developed for stand-alone type micro power generation systems. As an example of MEMS technology for integrated power electronics, buried interconnect technology will be presented, and the technological issues related to the development of these devices will be discussed.
