Processing technique remains a critical element within MEMS manufacturing. Successful process development requires extensive process and integration experience and equipment that is designed or optimized to maximize manufacturing performance. The suitability of various process techniques for the end structure must be identified during the device design phase, so as to significantly reduce the early-stage development of the structure. Process development is still required, but addressing manufacturing issues up-front ensures a more rapid and effective integration process.


Optimizing Equipment Processes With MEMS manufacturers developing increasingly functional and complex devices, they stand to benefit significantly from process tools that can provide solutions for commercial MEMS R&D through to volume manufacturing utilizing the same process technology and hardware. This ability to achieve a seamless process transfer from R&D to production represents a challenge frequently overlooked in the MEMS market.
