May 7, 2008 — Yole Développement, the French market research firm known for its annual “Top 30” ranking of MEMS producers has introduced a MEMS “toolkit” consisting of two databases. The toolkit is designed to serve the market-quantification needs of MEMS developers, investors, and industry suppliers; it consists of Yole’s World MEMS Market database 2008 (WM2) and the latest edition of its World MEMS Firms database (WMF) provides unprecedented insight into the MEMS sector.

WM2 presents detailed MEMS product forecasts for different types of devices (ink jet heads, pressure sensors, microphones, accelerometers, gyroscopes, MOEMS, micro displays, micro bolometers, microfluidics, RF MEMS, micro tips, micro fuel cells, new emerging MEMS devices). For each MEMS device covered forecasts are detailed by application (consumer, automotive, medical, life science, telecom, industrial, aeronautics and defense). Three updates per year are included in this new Yole product.

Companion database WMF describes more than 450 MEMS players worldwide including all business models (e.g., R&D, fab, fabless, foundry, integrated fab). WMF database features organization contact details and their top executives (job title, phone, and email) as well as technology information such as clean room size, production capacity, wafer size, processes, materials, and type of manufactured products.

Yole is offering a special bundle price of 3,590 Euros — a 20% discount off list — until May 8, 2008. For more information or to order, contact David Jourdan, +33 472 83 01 95.
