As far as I am concerned Wired is a must-read for tech investors. Get many good ideas from it. Also, speaking of MEMS here is a good site: mems.uc.edu

Lucius: Isn't it amazing what technology is coming to and CREE is in the middle of so many new initiatives. If SiC could be used for the MEMS as you suggest, I would bet the management at CREE are on top of it.

MEM technology has had a huge impact on infrared imaging technology. Look for references to microbolometer imaging arrays or devices. However, MEM technology is inherently silicon based due to the magic relationships between the silicon/SiO2 physics and chemistry. I can't see any advantage in MEMs for SiC and a number of technological showstoppers. Cree should focus on AlGaN/SiC optoelectronic devices and to a lesser extent power switching devices. That is where the payoff is.
