Endveco MEMS expansion and clean room test facilities upgrade
Endveco Corporation, designer and manufacturer of instrumentation for vibration, shock and pressure measurement, announced a significant expansion and upgrade of its microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) production facility The one-year, $5-million effort will expand the company’s clean room and testing facilities in response to the growing use of MEMS technology.
Endveco Corporation, designer and manufacturer of instrumentation for vibration, shock and pressure measurement, announced a significant expansion and upgrade of its microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) production facility The one-year, $5-million effort will expand the company’s clean room and testing facilities in response to the growing use of MEMS technology. The goal is to improve the facility’s infrastructure for DI H2O, HVAC, exhaust and electrical capacity while providing space for new equipment and expansion over time.
As an integral part of a project of this magnitude, a safety stock of inventory is being maintained to ensure timely deliveries. In addition, qualification of facilities processes and equipment will be implemented to monitor standards for purity, capacity and reliability. New equipment to be installed will add process capability, with qualification by new designs and an extensive product/process release procedure.
“MEMS technology offers significant advantages in terms of product operation, performance, reliability and affordability,” said John Kemp, president of Endveco.
In addition to the expansion and upgrade of the physical plant, the company has also recruited and trained several process engineers, including one of the few silicon carbide (SiC) etch engineers with real-world production experience.
