Memsstar Technology has announced that it is to enter into a strategic alliance with SAFC Hitech to supply fully qualified memsstar SPDTM (Surface Preparation and Deposition) systems with standard precursor chemical materials from SAFC Hitech for Surface Coatings on micro devices. The alliance between the two companies will better service the emerging technology needs of companies involved with MEMS and nanotechnology devices, claims Memsstar "With more and more nanotechnology devices being developed and entering the market, there is a growing requirement for ultra thin coatings deposited on the surface to ensure device performance or reliability," commented Mike Leavy, CEO, Memsstar Technology. Example applications include microfluidics to ensure hydrophobic or hydrophilic surface properties for devices such as inkjets or microneedles, and medical applications where bio-compatibility is essential. Other applications such as moisture barriers or anti-stiction properties are required by moving micro-sensors. Technology has gained fast market acceptance in MEMS with its range of memsstar platforms for etching and ultra thin film deposition. Together, both companies are committed to help enable the cost effective development of new devices and technologies by their customers," added Mr. Leavy."
