In this webinar, we will explore  in detail on how IntelliSuite software can be beneficial and help through various verticals of MEMS development  cycle.  From design concept, to various Process design kits development (PDK),  virtual fabrication process and simulation, Multiphysics and System Integration/3D package analysis. While the software can help streamline/simulate  the process recipe in  fab before actual process, it also meshes the process (fab) model to run multi physics FEM simulation to make the designed device more manufacturable. and achievable in performance. Further through the reduced order model simulation and links it to circuit  EDA tools to make the system designer can design control and sense circuit more precisely . The open architecture allows the Intellisuite can help with various non traditional silicon sensor and actuator  device design (beyond silicon), such as quartz, InP, sapphire etc. also it allows non traditional process simulation, as angled Ion Beam Etching (IBE), 3D lithography, 3D oxidation,  high order index substrate wet etch (Si/Quartz) etc.

Sensorization is enabling increasingly smart devices that span mass-market consumer products to niche medical equipment and everything in between. MEMS technology is at the center of this groundswell, presenting new revenue opportunities to companies of all sizes.

As companies seek to surpass performance and manufacturing limits of 1990s-era capacitive MEMS devices, a new generation of commercial MEMS devices that use piezoelectric thin films is emerging. The global piezoelectric MEMS market is forecast to hit USD 1.9B by 2031, exhibiting a 10-year CAGR of 24%*.

The benefits of piezoelectric thin films, particularly lead zirconate titanate (PZT), is the new foundation for high-growth MEMS products like micro speakers and microphones, gas sensors, image stabilizers, and ultrasonic transducers.

As a MEMS product development firm that has been advancing technology to market for two decades, AMFitzgerald is opening new paths for commercialization of PZT MEMS in alliance with Japanese foundry service MEMS Infinity. Together, AMFitzgerald and MEMS Infinity offer an integrated design-to-production service that expedites the commercialization of thin-film PZT MEMS chips. This complete solution for PZT MEMS combines design-for-manufacturing with production-proven processes from day one to fast-track customers to market.

Participants in this webinar will learn:

• What’s driving the adoption of PZT MEMS

• Why access to PZT MEMS manufacturing is especially important for early-stage development and low- to medium-level production.

• How North American companies can now access the highest-quality PZT thin films by engaging with an experienced product development firm and a top MEMS foundry
