Micralyne CEO addresses MEMS fabrication in a fabless and fablite world

Sensors Expo & Conference 2011, EDMONTON, CANADA: Micralyne Inc., a leading pure-play micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) foundry serving high-performance biomedical, telecommunications and industrial markets, will be well represented at this week’s Sensors Expo & Conference. Micralyne CEO Nancy Fares, who joined the company last year from Texas Instruments, where she led the drive to secure 95 percent market share for the DLP Cinema and DLP HDTV business units—will explore one of the hottest themes in microfabrication: the challenges and opportunities in adapting infrastructure to a fabless and fablite world.

Ms. Fares will join MEMS device-makers and end-users in the MEMS Industry Group panel, “Adapting Infrastructure to a Fabless and Fablite World,” during the Sensors Expo pre-conference symposium, “MEMS Commercialization Opportunities for Systems and Products,” June 6, 2011, 3:30-4:30 p.m.

“With growing ranks of MEMS device-makers designing pressure, gas and thermal-imaging sensors, as well as micro-fluidics and optical sensors, the fabless-fablite approach presents an attractive model for companies commercializing their products for specialized markets,” said Nancy Fares, CEO of Micralyne. “Outsourcing microfabrication, from development and packaging to assembly and characterization of MEMS devices, frees designers to do what they do best: move IP from conceptualization to commercialization with a trusted foundry partner.”

Micralyne's sensors experts will address Wafer Level Packaging (WLP) techniques for high-precision MEMS inertial sensors in their presentation, “Microfabrication of High Performance Inertial Sensor Using WLP Technology,” June 8, 11:00-11:40 a.m. They will present the ways in which poly-filled through silicon vias, multi-wafer bonding and package-pressure aging can increase inertial-sensor precision 1000x over competitive solutions.
