Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) and Nano Electro Mechanical Systems (NEMS) are advanced technologies that integrate mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and electronic components on a very small scale using microfabrication techniques. MEMS operate at the micrometer scale, typically ranging from a few micrometers to millimeters, whereas NEMS are an extension of MEMS that function at the nanometer scale. Both systems combine electrical and mechanical functionalities in extremely compact devices, enabling precise sensing, actuation, and control. MEMS devices are commonly fabricated using techniques similar to those used in semiconductor manufacturing, such as photolithography, etching, and deposition. These devices include tiny mechanical structures like cantilevers, membranes, and gears integrated
