St through CMP to provide MEMS process chip design company will benefit

The Italian-French semiconductor (ST) announces that it will provide a Thelma MEMS (MEMS) process for the research and Development organization through the Silicon Intermediary service CMP, through which the tertiary institutions, research laboratories and design companies can design chip prototypes.

Benedetto Vigna, general manager of the executive vice president of the Italian-French semiconductor and analog products, MEMS and sensors, said The company offers MEMS processes and a small chip manufacturing service with complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, including a breakthrough fully empty silicon insulating layer (FD-SOI), which combines with the advanced service capabilities of CMP, For small and medium-sized enterprises and research laboratories that want to design smart sensor systems, a way to make chips using state-of-the-art semiconductor technology is available.

The Italian-French semiconductor has successfully developed and sold billions of accelerometers and gyroscopes using the Thelma process. The Italian-French semiconductor is currently providing this process to third parties in the form of foundry services, which is intended to promote the use of motion sensing applications in the consumer electronics, automotive electronics, industrial and healthcare markets.

0.8 Micron Surface micromachining Thelma Process (for fabrication of micro-gyroscope and accelerometer thick-grained layer), through the integration of thick polysilicon layers to make components of the structure and interconnect components, the realization of single crystal chip integrated linear action and angular speed mechanical unit, can provide customers with higher cost-benefit and size advantages.
