Regarding surface micromachining in the Analog annual report: It is in there but not meant to be seen. It is mentioned in the notes, note 8, under litigation, page 25, paragraph 2. This note refers to patent litigation wherein a French company has claimed that the Analog accelerometer infringes on a French patent. This is the third annual report which has listed this litigation, but for the first time, it reports that French courts have upheld the competing patent and Analog will no longer be able to manufacture or sell the product in France (unless the decision is reversed). The note implies to me that similar litigation is underway in the US as well. While this does not at all mean that surface micromachining is dead, it may shed some light on why the spotlight has been turned off. Gotta read these reports all the way through!!
