WATERLOO, ONTARIO /Marketwired/ -- Teledyne DALSA Semiconductor, a Teledyne Technologies company and a world-leading pure-play MEMS foundry, announced the availability of its new MIDIS 200 mm MEMS fabrication platform for motion sensing devices. The platform is designed to provide high-volume, low-cost manufacture of accelerometers and gyroscopes or the integration of both into an inertial measurement unit, addressing the rapidly expanding demand for inertial sensors for consumer (mobile), automotive, and sports/health applications.
"Our MIDIS platform is a break-through technology that greatly reduces time to market by using a standardized process rather than developing each new device from the ground up, while making no compromises in performance," said Donald Robert, VP of Marketing at Teledyne DALSA Semiconductor. "Our high-performance through-silicon via and wafer bonding approach provide high vacuum and hermeticity without the need for expensive getters, in a very compact wafer-level package."
Key Features and Benefits
- Low product cost is achieved by reducing die size and by eliminating getter.
- The standardized process reduces time to market, cost, and development time.
- High-vacuum and hermeticity allows resonator Q factors > 20,000.
- Efficient wafer-level packaging minimizes overall die size.
- Comprehensive design rules maximize yield and reliability.
Sensors fabricated using Teledyne DALSA's MIDIS platform are already sampled or in production with alpha customers, and the platform is now being made available to the general market.
