Silex's very first foundry customer developed medical pressure sensors used inside the human body, a product still in mass production today. Customers' products manufactured at Silex have played a vital role in furthering human health through applications such as DNA sequencing, protein analysis, cMUT/pMUT, X-ray detection and drug-delivery devices, and have played pivotal roles in the control of major global health epidemics of the past twenty years. Silex anticipates that Life Science and Medical devices will constitute some of the largest wafer volumes produced by MEMS foundries over the next decade.
