Foundry technology for capacitive inertial MEMS sensors on SOI - MAGELAN

Standard inertial MEMS technology for faster time to market

Standard foundry technology for single-axis and multi-axis inertial MEMS accelerometers, gyros and vibration sensors

MAGELAN

Tronics Microsystems proposes Magelan, its core inertial sensor technology, as an open MEMS foundry platform with design kit for customer specific design. This thick SOI technology with Vacuum/Hermetic WLP enables the production of industrial, automotive and aerospace-grade capacitive MEMS inertial sensor dies (accelerometers, vibration sensors, gyros) and brings the following benefits:

  • From single-axis to multi-axis capacitive MEMS designs
  • High sensitivity and high signal-to-noise
  • High reliability thanks to C-SOI and Hermetic Wafer Level Package with getter
  • Small die size and low cost
  • Ease of integration with standard wire-bonding
