Atomica Announces 8-inch Wafer Fabrication Capabilities
PRESS RELEASE
200mm capabilities improve the economics of MEMS production by yielding roughly twice the number of devices per wafer.
SANTA BARBARA (PRWEB) JUNE 7, 2019
Atomica (formerly IMT) officially announced today that we’re offering 8-inch (200mm) wafer fabrication capabilities, marshaling in a new era in the company’s ability to serve the growing MEMS industry. 200mm capabilities improve the economics of MEMS production by yielding roughly twice the number of devices per wafer.
Bringing 8-inch capabilities to customers is another milestone in the ongoing capital improvements driven by the recent round of investment in the company last fall. Atomica continues to upgrade its 130,000 ft2 manufacturing campus and 30,000 ft2 class 100 wafer fabrication clean room.
Since 2000, Atomica has been a pioneer in the design and manufacture of Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS), with over 500 programs completed to date. MEMS technology leverages the precision and scale of semiconductor wafer manufacturing to make nano-scale structures on silicon or glass that dramatically improve the performance of devices that perform physical functions. The company is the leading independent MEMS manufacturer in North America, partnering with innovative system-vendors and fabless device firms worldwide to create and sustain competitive advantage.
