TITLE: MEMS FOUNDRY SERVICE AVAILABLE VIA CMP

Circuits Multi-Projects (CMP) and MEMSCAP S.A. have introduced  a
MEMS   Foundry  Module for the 0.8-micron CMOS DLP/DLM compatible
front side bulk  micromachining  technology  from  AMS,  Austria.
Started  in  1995,  the  micromachining  program  of  CMP  allows
universities,  research laboratories and industry  to  have  easy
access  to   MEMS    technologies.    Microelectronics-compatible
bulk micromachining  (in  CMOS, BiCMOS and HEMT GaAs) as well  as
MEMS-  specific  processes have been provided.  CMP  now supports
a  complete service  at   a   very   low  cost  to  develop  MEMS
devices,  including design support, verification,  manufacturing,
TMAH  wet  etching  post  process  and  packaging.   CMP   is   a
broker   for   a  number  of  technologies (prototyping  and  low
volume  production).  Since   1981,   400 university centers  and
130 industrial companies from 60 countries have been served, more
than 3000 integrated  circuits   have   been  fabricated  and  20
semiconductor houses have been interfaced.
