Dear MEMS Exchange, MEMSNet and MEMS Talk users: I am sending this message to you on behalf of the SEMI Standards Working Group on MEMS technology. As you probably know SEMI (Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International) is the leading trade organization and standards forming body for the semiconductor industry. Recently SEMI has also initiated activities in support of the MEMS industry. We are asking leaders in the community, such as yourself, to complete a survey questionnaire with the goal of better understanding the needs and requirements for the MEMS industry. We believe that this information will help MEMS manufacturers and their suppliers to better understand the issues involved and thereby improve their products. The survey is located at: http://www.memsnet.org/survey/semi0104/ Your opinions on this topic are extremely important to us and we hope that you will be able to spend the estimated 10-15 minutes of your time to fill it out. In order to help encourage people in the community to dedicate the time to this important task, we will send a report of the results of the survey to those who complete this survey, request a copy of the results, and give us an email address to send the results. Survey responses must be received by 5:00 p.m. on January 31, 2004 for consideration. Sincerely, Michael A.
