High speed MEMS manufacturing project advances to Phase II

The government's Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS) consortium, which will accelerate mobile technology creation, moves a step closer to completion.

According to A*STAR, which is leading the project, MEMS technology is quintessential for the booming production of next generation mobile devices.

"The second phase of the MEMS Consortium will build on the work accomplished in Phase I to develop 3 product-oriented (PO) devices, namely, the Oscillator, Magnetometer and Energy Harvester, which are among the fastest growing MEMS devices in the next five years," said A*STAR.

The MEMS Consortium Phase II has attracted company members spanning the mobile device supply chain from system, integrated device manufacturer, foundry, assembly & test, to equipment and material companies. Current members include AAC Technologies, Robert Bosch, Lite-On Technology, Marvell Technology, Murata Electronics, GLOBALFOUNDRIES, Coventor, EV Group, SPTS, AMEC, Okmetic and Soitec.

"Phase II will focus on establishing MEMS process modules and MEMS-CMOS integration methodologies for the chosen PO devices based on IME’s advanced through-silicon-via (TSV) technology. With the devices as demonstration vehicles, Phase II also aims for developing a process design kit (PDK) for MEMS, paving the way for standardization and cost-effective MEMS solutions for high volume manufacturing," it said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
