Welcome to Silicon Sensing

 

Silicon Sensing Systems has a world-beating reputation for the design, development and production of sputtered thin-film Piezo-MEMS devices, built at wafer level in their foundry in Japan. This unique capability - a mix of design expertise, tooling and high volume production, plus 20 years of experience in the delivery of around 30M inertial sensors (gyros and accelerometers) to the world market.

The Company is expanding its MEMS foundry in Japan, and moving into a new purpose built facility, to allow it to meet significantly increased demand for its MEMS inertial sensors and PZT MEMS devices. The new facility will increase floor space to 3,000m², immediately more than doubling current wafer throughput and delivering scope for a five-fold increase in output over the next five years, in line with current market growth predictions.  To keep up with the volume and price pressures in the thin film PZT MEMS sector Silicon Sensing is already expanding its 8” wafer line production.

This expansion forms part of a major two-year programme of investment which will upgrade tooling, capabilities and capacity, and comes as Silicon Sensing celebrates 20 years in the MEMS business.
