STMicroelectronics Provides STMicroelectronics THELMA MEMS Process for R&D Organizations

STMicroelectronics announced that it will provide the STMicroelectronics THELMA MEMS process to R&D organizations through ICs (Circuits MulTI Projets®), which can be used by universities, research laboratories and design companies to prototype samples. STMicroelectronics has developed and sold billions of market-leading accelerometers and gyroscopes using this process [According to the Yole Development research report, STMicroelectronics is the world's largest manufacturer of MEMS products, cumulative shipments of MEM devices With more than 3 billion pieces and a daily output of 4 million pieces, it is the first semiconductor manufacturer with MEMS sales of $1 billion. ]. STMicroelectronics now offers this process to third parties in the form of trial production and foundry, aiming to drive new developments in motion sensing applications in the consumer electronics, automotive electronics, industrial and healthcare markets.

ST's long-term success in MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) sensors is attributed to its market-leading processes. 0.8 micron surface micromachining THELMA (a thick epitaxial layer for micro gyros and accelerometers) process to fabricate device structures and interconnects by integrating thin polysilicon layers to achieve monolithic integrated linear motion and angular velocity mechanical inspection Units bring cost-effectiveness and size advantages to customers.

CMP's multi-project wafer processing services help design companies get a small number of advanced chips, typically in the tens to thousands of production processes. Now, THELMA design rules and design tools are available to universities and microelectronics companies, and the first applications are in the process of being approved.

The CMP service catalog adds to the success of the STMicroelectronics MEMS process based on the cooperation between the two parties. Previously, the joint project of STMicroelectronics and CMP provided a number of processes for universities and design companies, from the 130 nm CMOS launched in 2003 to the end of 2012. The 28nm FD-SOI technology enables design companies to efficiently design next-generation mobile devices that combine high performance with low power consumption.
Benedetto Vigna, executive vice president and general manager of analog products, MEMS and sensor products at STMicroelectronics, said: "We offer industry-leading MEMS processes and low-volume chip manufacturing services including CMOS technology with breakthrough FD-SOI. Combined with CMP's advanced service capabilities, it provides an opportunity for SMEs and R&D labs that want to design smart sensor systems to prototype chips using the most advanced semiconductor technology. This is unprecedented. After mastering the most advanced processes, Developers can focus on developing new products without having to spend a lot of time and resources on the R&D process."
CMP Director Bernard Courtois said: "The MEMS market is expected to usher in tremendous growth. We started providing MEMS technology processing services in 1995 and became the first chip intermediary service provider to provide MEMS technology in the world. Today, CMP is working with ST's successful cooperation project extends to the THELMA process, acquiring CMOS and MEMS technologies from a single manufacturer. Beyond inertial sensors, pressure sensors, microphones, electronic compasses, etc., ST's partnership with CMP will allow CMP Customers are targeting more and more social needs and investing in complex embedded system designs that are considered an important part of the Internet of Things."

STMicroelectronics (ST) is the world's leading supplier of semiconductor solutions, providing customers with sensors, power devices, automotive products and embedded processor solutions. From energy management and energy-saving technologies, to digital trust and data Security, from medical fitness equipment to smart consumer electronics, from home appliances and automobiles to office equipment, from work to entertainment, STMicroelectronics' ubiquitous electronics are ubiquitous and enriching people. The life aspect plays a positive and innovative role. STMicroelectronics represents the idea that technology leads the way of life (a life.augmented).
ST's 2012 net income was $4.89 billion. Please visit the company website for details.
