MEMS & Sensors Industry Group

What MEMS & Sensors Industry Group does

MEMS & Sensors Industry Group (MSIG) is a technology community operating under SEMI, the global semiconductor industry association. Founded in 2001 and headquartered alongside SEMI in Milpitas, California, MSIG functions as a neutral forum connecting decision-makers across the global MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) and sensors value chain — including device manufacturers, sensor developers, equipment makers, materials suppliers, design firms, and system integrators. The organization facilitates industry collaboration through governing council participation, working groups and taskforces, technical forums, standards committees, and a mentoring program, with membership engagement spanning North America, Europe, China, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, Taiwan, and India.

MSIG's core offerings include the annual MEMS & Sensors Technical Congress (MSTC), the MSIG Membership Program providing 24/7 access to member-exclusive research, white papers, presentations, and event discounts, a Position Navigation and Timing Sensor R&D funding program, working groups addressing industry challenges and gaps, and a searchable member directory. Members access SEMI's global SEMICON exposition network (China, Europa, India, Japan, Korea, SEA, Taiwan, West) for technology showcasing and business development. The PR program supports member marketing activities including blogs, webinars, and media engagement.

MSIG operates on a subscription-based membership revenue model administered through SEMI. Companies must first join SEMI and then activate MSIG community access via a subscription registration. MSIG does not appear to be a separately incorporated legal entity but functions as one of 20+ specialized technology communities within SEMI's broader organizational structure, which encompasses 4 smart initiatives and 150 committees. With 11-50 employees, the organization is a lean operating unit within SEMI's worldwide framework, and no standalone financial disclosures are available.

Core offering

MSIG operates as a membership-based technology community under SEMI that brings together decision-makers across the global MEMS and sensors supply chain. It provides industry networking through working groups, governing council participation, technical forums, and major events such as the MEMS & Sensors Technical Congress (MSTC) and SEMICON expositions worldwide. Members also gain access to R&D funding programs, standards committees, white papers, research, and speaking opportunities at industry events.

Product overview

MEMS & Sensors Industry Group (MSIG) is a technology community under SEMI that serves as a platform for innovation and collaboration across the global MEMS and sensors ecosystem. Rather than offering a unified software product, MSIG provides a suite of member services including the annual MEMS & Sensors Technical Congress (MSTC) for industry networking and knowledge sharing, a Position Navigation and Timing Sensor R&D funding program for sensor research, and working groups that address industry challenges. Members gain access to a global network, market intelligence resources, and discounts on SEMI events and exhibitions.

Partnerships

Four partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• STMicroelectronicscoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerSTMicroelectronics is an active leader in the MSIG Governing Council, working to define the strategic direction of the community and accelerate sensor adoption. Benedetto Vigna, former President of the Analog, MEMS and Sensors Group at STMicroelectronics (named CEO of Ferrari in 2021), provided a testimonial supporting MSIG's mission.
• Lam ResearchcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerLam Research actively participates in MSIG through technology conferences, trade shows, standards committees, and mentoring programs. Senior Director Michelle Bourke has participated in MSIG efforts to help drive the industry forward.
• QualcommcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerQualcomm collaborates with MSIG on sensors and MEMS ecosystem innovation. Senior Director Evgeni Gousev highlights the ecosystem's breadth and diversity of leading-edge technologies and the significant impacts MEMS and sensors make in everyday lives.
• PNI SensorcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerPNI Sensor has served in a leadership role with SEMI MSIG for over eight years. President and CEO Becky Oh credits the organization with providing access to cutting-edge innovation and top industry executives, playing an integral role in PNI's successful entrance into the IoT market.

Direct peers

• IEEE Sensors Council: Technical community within IEEE focused on sensors research, publications, and conferences. Comparable to MSIG as a sensors-focused professional community, though it operates within an academic society structure rather than a semiconductor industry-supply-chain body.
• International Microelectronics Assembly and Packaging Society (IMAPS): Professional society dedicated to microelectronics packaging and assembly, hosting technical conferences and a member community. Directly comparable to MSIG as a semiconductor-adjacent technical community running working groups and member events.
• IPC International: Global trade association for the electronics manufacturing supply chain, including standards development, training, and events. Comparable to MSIG as an industry-group model serving electronics manufacturing, with parallel revenue streams in standards, events, and membership.
• Electronic Systems Design Alliance (ESDA): Sibling technology community under SEMI focused on electronic design, operating with similar governance, working groups, and event model. Directly comparable to MSIG as a parallel SEMI technology community serving a different but adjacent semiconductor subdomain.
• Global Semiconductor Alliance (GSA): Industry alliance serving the global semiconductor supply chain, including fabless, foundry, IDM, and equipment players. Directly comparable to MSIG as a membership-based organization convening semiconductor executives for collaboration, events, and advocacy.
• FlexTech (Flexible Hybrid Electronics): SEMI technology community advancing flexible hybrid electronics, with overlapping sensor applications and a similar working-group/membership model. Comparable to MSIG as a peer SEMI community serving an emerging electronics-adjacent technology domain.
• Semiconductor Industry Association (SIA): Trade association representing the US semiconductor industry, focused on policy advocacy, public-private partnerships (CHIPS Act), and industry data. Highly comparable to MSIG as a semiconductor-focused membership organization, though SIA is broader (not MEMS/sensor specific) and policy-centric.
• Advanced Packaging & Heterogeneous Integration (APHI): Another SEMI technology community focused on advanced packaging — a downstream step in the semiconductor value chain that intersects with MEMS and sensor integration. Comparable as a sibling SEMI community with shared governance, membership base overlap, and event distribution.

Others

• MEMS Industry Group Consortium (within SEMI MSIG): MEMS industry group is the legacy organizational identity for what is now MSIG under SEMI; the legacy brand remains a reference point. Included as an organizational adjacency rather than a distinct competing peer.

Broad incumbents

• IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers): Largest global professional association for electronics and electrical engineering, encompassing sensors, MEMS, semiconductors, and adjacent fields through multiple societies and councils. Comparable to MSIG as a membership-driven standards/events/education organization, but vastly broader in scope.
