semi-OT:BURLINGTON, Mass.-(BW)-Sept. 25-Standard MEMS, Inc., the largest independent high-volume manufacturer of Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) for high technology markets and Philips Semiconductors, a division of Royal Philips Electronics, today announced a joint venture to build a MOS-8" wager manufacturing facility for MEMS and integrated discrete semiconductors in Itzehoe, Germany. Other minority interests in the joint venture will be held by the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicon Technology (ISIT) and MGB Schleswig-Holstein (a regional venture capital company). The fab will be dedicated to the production of MEMS and CMOS products using 0.35 and 0.25 micron CMOS processes. Research and development of new MEMS products will also be conducted at the facility in close collaboration with the scientific and engineering staff for the Fraunhofer Institute (ISIT) in addition to other public and private research institutes throughout Europe. ....The application of MEMS (MST) devices is growing rapidly. While ink jet technology has been depending on MEMS components for years, growth in other areas is demanding production capacity. The new fab is designed to produce sensors, medical devices and telecommunication components for Standard MEMS customer-Europe and other markets.
