Micralyne, an independent micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) foundry, has presented details about MEMS fabrication at Sensors Expo & Conference.
Nancy Fares, CEO of Micralyne, discussed the opportunities and challenges faced in adjusting infrastructure to a fablite and fabless world. She joined along with MEMS device manufacturers as well as consumers in the MEMS Industry Group panel called “Adapting Infrastructure to a Fabless and Fablite World,” during the pre-conference debate titled “MEMS Commercialization Opportunities for Systems and Products” on 6 June, 2011.
Fares said that the fabless-fablite method exhibits an attractive model for organizations who market their products for specific industries. She also added that outsourcing microfabrication frees designers to shift IP from a conception phase to a commercialization phase with a reliable foundry partner.
Sensors experts from Micralyne discussed Wafer Level Packaging techniques that are used for MEMS inertial sensors. The presentation, titled, ‘Microfabrication of High Performance Inertial Sensor Using WLP Technology’, was delivered on June 8, 2011.
