AMFitzgerald expedites the commercialization of thin-film piezoelectric MEMS and photonic technologies through a strategic alliance with MEMS Infinity. - Unlocks commercial potential of emerging piezoelectric MEMS and photonic devices, such as: - ultrasound transceivers - micro-speakers - optical tuners - micro-mirrors - microfluidic actuators and valves - optical switches - Pairs AMFitzgerald’s expertise in MEMS development with MEMS Infinity’s aerospace-grade prototyping and manufacturing capability in PiezoMEMS - Facilitates access to thin-film PZT and lead-free KNN, available for 150 and 200mm wafers at MEMS Infinity. - Leverages proprietary data on thin-film PZT and KNN to improve accuracy of device design and modeling, minimizing the need for design-build-test cycles and accelerating product development. How it Works Our integrated product development experience will guide you seamlessly from concept and prototype through test and volume fabrication. 1. Engage AMFitzgerald to evaluate specifications, assess feasibility, and develop concepts 2. AMFitzgerald creates a custom chip design based on MEMS Infinity processes 3. MEMS Infinity prototypes the design on 150 or 200mm wafers with support from AMFitzgerald 4. Begin volume ramp up in pilot production, focusing on yield improvement and test optimization 5. Enter production stage and ongoing yield improvement at MEMS Infinity - Phase 1: Feasibility Define project Sign contract Evaluate customer specification Develop concept Process integration design Evaluate risks Create a development plan Outcome: Report - Phase 2: Design Create custom chip design Process integration and risk mitigation Evaluate design using simulation and modeling Iterate and optimize design Prepare unit-cell mask layout Outcome: Device design report; unit cell mask layout, recommend shortloops and test structures - Phase 3: Prototype Prepare mask data, test structures and PCMs for tapeout Prepare runsheet and process plan In-line and end-of-line inspection and analysis Prototype iteration Outcome: Engineering samples - Phase 4: Pilot Production Sign off specifications Stabilize yield Outcome: Pilot silicon wafers optional: back-end, test, assembly services - Phase 5: Production Ramp up production and stabilize process Continuous yield improvement Outcome: Product silicon wafers optional: back-end, test, assembly services Select us as your partner to move your PiezoMEMS device from concept to production.
