AB  - Integrated devices incorporating MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) with IC 
      (integrated circuit) components have been becoming increasingly important in the 
      era of IoT (Internet of Things). In this study, a hybrid fuzzy MCDM 
      (multi-criteria decision making) model was proposed to effectively evaluate 
      alternative technologies that incorporate MEMS with IC components. This model, 
      composed of the fuzzy AHP (analytic hierarchy process) and fuzzy VIKOR 
      (VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje) methods, solves the 
      decision problem of how best to rank MEMS and IC integration technologies in a 
      fuzzy environment. The six important criteria and the major five alternative 
      technologies associated with our research themes were explored through literature 
      review and expert investigations. The priority weights of criteria were derived 
      using fuzzy AHP. After that, fuzzy VIKOR was deployed to rank alternatives. The 
      empirical results show that development schedule and manufacturing capability are 
      the two most important criteria and 3D (three-dimensional) SiP 
      (system-in-package) and monolithic SoC (system-on-chip) are the top two favored 
      technologies. The proposed fuzzy decision model could serve as a reference for 
      the future strategic evaluation and selection of MEMS and IC integration 
      technologies.
