X-FAB completes noble metal MEMS facility with in-house gold processing
June 13, 2012 // Julien Happich
X-FAB Silicon Foundries announced two major MEMS milestones: the completion of its dedicated noble metal facility for MEMS and post-CMOS processing and shipment of its billionth MEMS device.
The new facility, built specifically for the processing of MEMS, extends X-FAB's existing MEMS capabilities in Erfurt, Germany, and initially adds gold deposition and patterning capability. It can handle approximately 100,000 wafers a year and will process MEMS devices for the rapidly expanding consumer, mobile and computer markets. Work began on the noble metal facility at the end of 2011 and was completed this month on schedule. The full equipment set is installed and being qualified for production.
Since 1995, the company has manufactured and shipped a billion MEMS devices, including gyroscopes, accelerometers, pressure sensors, thermopiles and microfluidic devices, as well as CMOS integrated MEMS sensors and wafer-level packaged devices for consumer, automotive and medical applications.

The development platform for i.MX 6Quad from element14 (built to the Freescale SABRE Lite design) is an evaluation platform featuring the powerful i.MX 6Q, a multimedia application processor with Quad ARM Cortex-A9 cores at 1.2 GHz from Freescale Semiconductor.
This month, Freescale and element14 are giving away five such platforms, worth £128.06 each, for EETimes Europe's readers to win. The platform helps evaluate the rich set of peripherals and includes a 10/100/Gb Ethernet port, SATA-II, HDMI v1.4, LVDS, parallel RGB interface, touch screen interface, analog headphone/microphone, micro TF and SD card interface, USB, serial port, JTAG, camera interface, and input keys for Android.
And the winners are...
In our previous reader offer, Pico Technology was giving away one of its recently launched PicoScope 3207B, a 2-channel USB 3.0 oscilloscope worth 1451 Euros. Lucky winner Mr L. Sanchez-Gonzalez from Spain should be receiving his PicoScope 3207B soon. Let's wish them some interesting findings with his projects.
