In this context, the enablingMNT review on packaging and assembly suppliers for MST/MEMS has confirmed that many of the small- and medium-sized enterprises (SME) often lack both the expertise and the infrastructure for full wafer-level packaging, leading to high-volume, cost-intensive solutions. The existence of professional suppliers of MST/MEMS packaging and assembly is therefore an essential element in the supply chain and critical for MST/MEMS products. Over 40 organizations that offer packaging and assembly services for MST/MEMS have been identified, studied, and assessed, and the results are presented in the report.

The companies described range from small start-ups, offering specialized services, to large semiconductor packaging companies, with production lines set up specifically for microsystems-based products. The report also provides an assessment of the major trends and technologies in this field. Finally, the intricate interactions that exist between microsystems-based users and/or die manufacturers (foundries) and the service suppliers of packaging and assembly is also addressed.
