MEMS Foundry
- Fab Capabilities
- Thin Film Deposition
- Photolithography
  In MEMS and biomedical device fabrication, photolithography requirements may vary widely and that’s where we come in.
- Photoresist Coating
  Whether your process demands a spray coat or spin coat on various substrates, our foundry checks all the boxes.
- Wet Etch
- Dry Etch
  Etching is the chemical removal of a thin film material during device processing. With field-proven experience, we provide etch variations to meet your requirements.
- Metal Lift-Off
  Metal lift-off is an alternative process when etch is not a solution. We developed a specialized bilayer resist process that improves film adhesion and results in clean high-quality lift-off.
- ITAR Registered
  Targeting your MEMS device to military/aero or defense applications? You may need an ITAR-compliant MEMS foundry in your supply chain.

Wafer Services
- Thermal Oxidation
  We use thermal oxide as the primary passivation layer which allows us to build MEMS with the more temperature-friendly silicon.
- LPCVD Silicon Nitride
- PECVD Films
  Silicon nitride is a highly versatile film that we use to build MEMS devices or as a tool for defining active regions during field oxidation.
- PVD Metal and Dielectric Films
  Metal thin films are essential components in device-building. We offer the flexibility to ensure we meet your specific requirements.
- Undoped Polysilicon
  Our LPCVD polysilicon films enable control over crystallinity, uniformity, grain-size and film stress—making them versatile for MOS and MEMS applications
