MEMS prototype-to-volume collaboration
The technology teams at both companies will now be working together to ensure process and design tool compatibility, including full process statistics. This working collaboration represents an extended team of more than 120 people offering concept feasibility, product design and simulation, right through to industrialisation and fully integrated volume manufacture.
TRONIC'S has a new custom MEMS manufacturing plant at Crolles, in south-east France, and high-end packaging solutions such as wafer level encapsulation and under vacuum packaging. QinetiQ has developed an extensive portfolio of inertial sensors and optical components designs based on silicon on insulator (SOI) substrates, which have been developed at its site in Malvern, UK.
