8 and 12 inches microsystems platform

Published on 29 April 2016

A world-class R&D facility

The 8" and 12" microsystems platform develops sensors, switches, RF components, components for photonics and IR applications, power components, and integrated packaging solutions.

The platform’s highly-qualified staff, equipment, and international activities make it the world’s leading center for microsystems R&D. The objectives of the R&D conducted at the platform are to reduce component cost and energy consumption while increasing performance and reliability. The microsystems developed target the mobile telephony, medical, automotive, aeronautics, and other industries.

The platform has 25 ongoing strategic partnerships with component and systems manufacturers and end users. Its activities cover the entire component-development chain, from simulation, design, and technology development to demonstrator systems and industrial scale-up. Other activities include advanced morphological and electrical characterization and reliability studies. Finally, the platform investigates new materials, validates innovative technologies, develops non-volatile memory, and studies 3D integration.
