Turnkey Method for MEMS Development.(Brief Article)
Microcosm Technologies Inc. (Cary, NC), a global provider of MEMS, and Cronos Integrated Microsystems (P.O. Box 13942, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709; Tel: 877/GET-MEMS, Fax: 919/465-0486), a developer and supplier of MEMS components and component technologies, are teaming up to provide JumpStart, a design kit that provides a low-risk, inexpensive, efficient turnkey method for developing and prototyping MEMS devices.
JumpStart is a unique design solution consisting of Microcosm's Catapult MEMS design tool with integrated layout generators, an engineering design kit for the Cronos certified MUMPS (Multi-User MEMS Processes), and a reserved slot on a Cronos MUMPS fabrication run. With JumpStart, developers can create, verify, and optimize a design using Microcosm's Catapult layout software, then seamlessly transfer the design to Cronos for fabrication according to their design specifications. About 12 weeks later, customers receive 15 prototype chips as unreleased die. Multi-user photomask generation, wafer fabrication, dicing into 1-cm 1-cm, individual chips, and shipping are included.
MEMS are highly miniaturized devices that integrate a number of functions, including fluidics, optics, mechanics and electronics, on a single silicon chip using traditional integrated circuit process technology. MEMS merge sensing, actuating, and computing into miniature systems that enable enhanced levels of perception, control, and performance. ...
