Accelerating Piezoelectric MEMS Product Development with AMFitzgerald and MEMS Infinity
There is an increasing need for sensors and smart devices in optical communications, medical devices, automotive navigation and every market in between. MEMS technology is at the center of this groundswell, presenting new revenue opportunities to companies of all sizes.
As companies seek to push performance and manufacturing limits, a new generation of commercial MEMS devices that use piezoelectric thin films has been emerging. The global piezoelectric MEMS wafer volume is forecast to exceed 1.5M wafers per year or 30% of all MEMS wafers by 2029*.
Piezoelectric thin films, particularly PZT, are the new foundation for high-growth MEMS products like microspeakers and micromirrors, gas sensors, image stabilizers, and ultrasonic transducers.
An alliance between MEMS product development firm AMFitzgerald and foundry service MEMS Infinity, Sumitomo Precision Products, Co.,Ltd. is opening new paths for commercialization of PZT MEMS. Together, AMFitzgerald and MEMS Infinity offer an integrated design-to-production service that expedites commercialization by leveraging production-proven processes from day one.
