X-FAB is currently expanding and strengthening its MEMS design support department. The goal is to provide optimal assistance to help customers introduce MEMS devices into their design. Design support in MEMS technology is generally complicated, since most MEMS products require their own individual processes. X-FAB therefore strives to offer its customers a competent support to enable them to effortlessly match their concepts to the requirements of the X-FAB foundry. This is done by offering:
- Design rules and process specifications for X-FAB standard MEMS processes
- Readily designed and fully characterized IP blocks for direct embedding into customer designs as "primitive devices"
- Individual support using a comprehensive set of MEMS specific simulation packages.
Three simulation packages are available at X-FAB:
