The EVG810LT LowTemp plasma activation system, installed earlier this year at SMI’s Milpitas, Calif.-based fabrication facility, will be used in many new system-level products that combine high-performance bulk and surface MEMS structures with CMOS and EEPROM circuits from SMI’s parent company, ELMOS Semiconductor AG. MEMS integration with advanced circuitry is a critical part of SMI’s strategy to provide inertial products, as well as pressure sensors for low pressure ranges.
