MEMS-ONE Project Achievements
This will be the final year of the Project forDevelopment of a Design and Analysis Support Systemfor MEMS (MEMS-ONE Project). The MEMS-ONE
Project was established with the aim of setting up an
infrastructure to provide systems support for thegrowth and development of the Micro Electro
Mechanical Systems (MEMS) industry. MEMS-ONE
development is entering the final stages; even lastyear, only fragments were visible, but beginning withthis fiscal year, verification after combining elements
has been conducted, enabling the overall picture to beglimpsed.
When the MEMS-ONE system is launched, thegraphical user interface (GUI) function that serves as
the basic framework for the system appears. Thisfunction allows users to perform analysis in aninteractive manner, and the results of analysis can beeasily checked by means of figures, graphs andanimations. Steady progress is also being made withregard to novice support features such as theacquisition of a knowledge database and data on
material properties.
In the future, integrated verification of the overall
MEMS-ONE system will be conducted to increase theoverall completeness of the system. In addition, avigorous effort is being made to increase the volume ofdata acquisition in anticipation of the issue of alphaand beta (final) releases.

This autumn a briefing will be held to announce theachievements of the MEMS-ONE Project. This briefing
will feature up-to-date information on such topics as
an overview of the functions that will ultimately beprovided in MEMS-ONE and their characteristics, ademonstration showing how to use the program,anticipated dates for the issue of alpha and beta
releases and so on. This briefing will differ from theone held last year in that it will feature enhanced
content based on the actual software currently being
developed. In addition, the venue has been changed to
the Tokyo International Forum. A video presentation
on MEMS-ONE will be presented at Exhibition
MICROMACHINE as well, in addition to ademonstration featuring sample analyses, panelexhibits and pamphlet distribution.
The program for the briefing is shown below. We
invite all interested parties to attend.

Copies of the alpha release and beta release will be
distributed in accordance with the following schedule.
1 ) The purpose of distributing the alpha release is toenable users to evaluate the current state ofexecution of the program. The results of theevaluation will be reflected in the beta release to
the greatest degree possible in order to make theprogram more complete. The alpha release isscheduled for mid-November 2006. You will beable to register to receive a copy of the alpharelease beginning in early October.
2 ) The beta release will be the final version
representing the ultimate achievement of theMEMS-ONE Project. It is tentatively scheduled forrelease in May 2007.
