Setting the Standards For MEMS Based Packaging Solutions"

Standard MEMS leverages their expertise to develop low cost, high yield, packaging standards for MEMS based solutions.

(PRWEB) October 17, 2001 -- Standard MEMS, Inc. the market leader in providing fully integrated, broad based, MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems) design and manufacturing announced today that they will accelerate their efforts in the MEMS packaging and test field. The organization has officially assembled a team of packaging and test engineers whos primary focus will be on developing the new standards for packaging MEMS based solutions by initially providing a few packaging options and techniques, and ultimately providing low cost, high yield, packaging solutions that can address the needs of many commercial market segments.

If developing machines on the micro and nano level were not difficult enough, creating the proper packaging elements is also a challenging prospect that requires experience, in-depth product knowledge, and a full understanding of the broad market requirements. Were leveraging our expertise", said Glenn Fricano, Vice President of Engineering for Standard MEMS, Inc., Weve put together a focused packaging and test team that will work directly with our process engineers on the wafer level. Our goal is to establish a standard technique, or process, in MEMS packaging that is designed to fulfill the unique needs of MEMS based solutions across all market segments (Automotive, Bio-Medical, Aerospace, Telecommunications, and Industrial). By expanding on current commercials processes we can develop a standard for packaging that will provide a low cost, high yield, solution for our customers".
