March 30, 2009: Micralyne Inc., a MEMS developer and manufacturer, has announced plans to collaborate with SVTC Technologies LLC, an independent MEMS and CMOS commercialization company, to develop and manufacture MEMS devices using 8-in. fabrication technology.
This collaboration harnesses Micralyne’s skills in MEMS design, process and manufacturing integration and SVTC’s advanced technology development and engineering expertise to provide customer’s with a one-stop shop for design through manufacturing at a competitive cost, Micralyne said in a news release.
Through this endeavor Micralyne will obtain access to SVTC facilities in San Jose, CA., and Austin, TX, to undertake MEMS process development and volume manufacturing. SVTC brings together an extensive equipment set with a strong heritage of technology commercialization and engineering expertise. In addition, the SVTC fabs possess unique capabilities like atomic layer deposition and advanced lithography. Access to these capabilities will allow Micralyne to meet the growing demands of 8-in. MEMS development and manufacturing in a cost effective manner.
