Rather than acting as a fabrication provider, Silex works with customers as a solutions partner: developing and optimising piezoelectric films to match specific application requirements, tailoring process flows for integration with broader device architectures, and carrying the process knowledge that would otherwise take years and significant investment to build in-house. The foundry model also provides IP protection and enables customers to move from early feasibility through to volume production without a process transfer, reducing development risk and shortening the path to market. “Our role isn’t just to manufacture devices,” says Svedin. “It’s to take a concept and make it manufacturable. To turn material performance into reliable, scalable technology.” Key decisions around material selection, device architecture, and process integration are often best addressed early. Silex works with customers to assess feasibility and define scalable manufacturing approaches from the outset.
