In the intelligent era of the Internet of Everything, MEMS has become a key branch of “More than Moore” technology. With advantages such as miniaturization, low power consumption and high integration, MEMS devices are now widely used in consumer electronics, automotive electronics, healthcare, industrial IoT and many other fields, becoming core components that support digital transformation. However, MEMS product development and mass production face pain points such as complex processes, high technical barriers and complicated workflows. Full-process micro/nano foundry services and one-stop MEMS solutions are emerging to solve these problems and create new momentum for the industry.
Full-process micro/nano foundry services break the fragmentation of traditional outsourcing and cover the full chain from design support to mass-production delivery. Customers do not need to invest heavily in building their own production lines; they can access professional and efficient manufacturing support. Services include photomask customization, lithography, etching, thin-film deposition, packaging and testing. Supported by cleanroom laboratories and advanced processing equipment, pilot production and mass-production foundry services for products up to 8 inches can be provided, helping stabilize process yield, shorten R&D cycles, reduce trial-and-error costs and lower the entry threshold.
From a service-flow perspective, full-process micro/nano foundry follows a simple and efficient cooperation model. Customers only need to provide substrate information, design files and process descriptions. The professional team then completes drawing review, process optimization and quotation feedback. After the plan is confirmed, process testing and parameter calibration are performed in the experimental stage to ensure the product meets expected standards before formal fabrication. Progress is synchronized throughout the process, and detailed inspection reports are provided at delivery, creating a turnkey foundry experience. This model allows customers to focus on core technology development and significantly improves time to market.
A one-stop MEMS solution further integrates technology, manufacturing and service based on full-process foundry capabilities, matching the customized needs of different industries. In response to the trend toward smaller, more integrated and more intelligent MEMS products, the solution covers chip design, process development, prototyping, pilot and mass production, packaging and testing, and technical consulting. It can flexibly support silicon-based MEMS, biosensors and other device types, meeting application needs in consumer electronics, automotive, medical and other fields.
Whether the application is a miniature microphone or accelerometer for consumer electronics, an inertial measurement unit or pressure sensor for automotive systems, or a miniature sensing device for medical applications, one-stop MEMS solutions can provide customized technical support. By optimizing the process route, device miniaturization and high performance can be balanced while production costs are reduced. For emerging fields such as humanoid robots and autonomous driving, where high-precision sensors are needed, semiconductor microfabrication can achieve micron-level precision control while balancing miniaturization and cost effectiveness.
At present, the global MEMS market continues to recover, and the domestic market is growing faster than the global average. However, supply-demand mismatches remain, and mass-production capabilities for high-end devices still need improvement. Full-process micro/nano foundry services and one-stop MEMS solutions provide a light-asset, low-barrier path for research institutions and small and medium-sized enterprises, while also supporting domestic substitution in the industry. By integrating professional technical teams, advanced process equipment and a complete service system, these solutions help break technical barriers and promote rapid transformation and large-scale application of MEMS technology.
In the future, as AI, robotics, low-altitude economy and other emerging fields continue to rise, MEMS application demand will grow rapidly. Full-process micro/nano foundry and one-stop solutions will continue to upgrade process precision and service efficiency, expand application scenarios, help more enterprises overcome technical bottlenecks and support high-quality development of the micro/nano and MEMS industries.
