Memsstar® is focused on sacrificial & release etch and deposition technologies for MEMS applications Our mission is to enable our customers to make the successful transition to integrated dry processing, and from R&D to high yield manufacturing of their MEMS technologies.   By delivering proprietary process tools and unique process integration knowledge to our customers, we add value to your efforts to develop and manufacture high performance and cost effective MEMS devices. The patented Memsstar®  CCFT™ processing and control systems are used to create truly unique and cost effective solutions for vapor phase isotropic etch and surface modification.

MEMS FABRICATION TOOLS

CONTROLLED CONTINUOUS FLOW TECHNOLOGY

memsstar® systems have unrivalled process performance and process control, versus other vapour phase or liquid based systems. It is used for chemical etch and chemical deposition processes.  Benefits of CCFT™ are many and include the following;

· Faster process times, highly efficient gas usage, lower COO

· Faster etch rates, higher throughput

· Multi-mode, static, pulsed, or flow

· Large process windows for development and multiple schemes

· Excellent process uniformity, etch selectivity, repeatability

· Robust Films with superior tunable properties

· Multi-step processing in a single pass
