Working With Rogue Valley Microdevices

Working With Us

Rogue Valley Microdevices is your U.S.-based, ITAR-registered MEMS foundry partner: no order minimums, an engineer on every project, and a clear way in whether you need design, fabrication, or wafer services.

We have been a U.S.-based microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and thin film foundry since 2003, headquartered in Medford, Oregon, with a second U.S. facility under construction in Palm Bay, Florida. From low-volume prototypes through production, there is a clear way in and a team ready to build it with you, whether you arrive with a finished design, a rough concept, or a process you want to outsource.

Four Ways to Work With Us

Start wherever your project stands. Each path is scoped to what you need.

Design Services

Start with a design

You have a concept, a device that underperforms, or a layout that needs a fab. We design it with you and you keep the intellectual property. Choose design only, technology transfer, or design and fabricate.

MEMS Design Services

MEMS Foundry

Build the full device

You have a design ready to run. Our U.S. foundry takes it through lithography, thin film deposition, etch, and wafer-level integration, from prototype through production.

Foundry Capabilities

Wafer Services

Add films to your wafers

You need specific films or metallization on your own substrates. We run short-flow deposition and processing on customer-supplied wafers, including thermal oxide, LPCVD and PECVD films, and metals.

Why Teams Choose RVM as a MEMS Foundry Partner

No minimums.

No minimum order quantity and no minimum spend. Run a single low-volume prototype or a full production lot. Every MEMS processing engagement is scoped to what your device actually needs, not to a purchase threshold.

An engineer from your first email.

Even our sales team has an engineering background, so the person who scopes your project understands MEMS processing, your constraints, and your device. There is no translation layer between you and the fab.

U.S.-based, and yours.

An ITAR-registered U.S. foundry where you keep full ownership of every design, mask set, model, and data set. Your program stays domestic and stays yours.

How Each Path Works

Four ways to work with us, each with a clear, step-by-step path.

Design Services

1
Concept & goals
Bring a concept, a device that underperforms, or a layout that needs a fab. We start from where you are.
2
NDA
Confidentiality first, before any sensitive detail is shared.
3
Design & layout (you keep the IP)
We design the device with you. Every layout, mask set, and model stays your property.
4
Choose how to build
Pick the path that fits your program:
  • Fabricate at RVM
  • Transfer to another foundry
  • Design only, take it and go

MEMS Foundry

1
Tell us about your device
Share your design, target specs, and volume. Your first reply comes from an engineer, not a sales rep.
2
NDA
We put a non-disclosure agreement in place before any sensitive technical detail changes hands.
3
Quote & process flow
A clear scope, price, and full fabrication sequence, defined before any wafer starts.
4
Fabrication
Your wafers run on our U.S. line, handled by the same process engineers who built the flow.
5
Scale to production
Wafer-level data and design of experiments (DOE) tighten the process from prototype lots to production volumes.

Wafer Services

1
Send your wafers & film spec
Tell us the films or metallization you need on your own substrates.
2
Quote
Pricing and turnaround up front, no minimum order.
3
We process your substrates
Short-flow deposition and processing: thermal oxide, LPCVD and PECVD films, and metals.
4
Return to you
Processed wafers ship back to you, ready for your next step.

No NDA required, available on request.

Shop

1
Browse ready-to-ship wafers
In-stock silicon wafers and common specifications, listed online with pricing.
2
Order online
Add to cart and check out. No project, no minimum.
3
Ships to you
Your order ships from inventory, straight to your lab.

No NDA or project required. Reduced lead times, fast shipping.
