Competencies

As an A*STAR premier research institute for micro and nano technologies research in Singapore, IME aims to provide a complete solution for your product development needs with our comprehensive research infrastructure, process capabilities, analytical, testing and packaging services.

We have process competencies for fabrication of sub-100 nanometer transistors, interconnects technology with copper and low-k dielectrics, test chip design, process simulation, process flow development, as well as wafer level electrical tests, wafer dicing and packaging.

Our team of experts brings years of in-depth experience in the area of silicon-based research and innovation, having worked closely with businesses of all sizes.

Components Device/Process Module Library

In the areas of Photonics, IME has established a full suite of passives components library based SOI nanowires and SiN waveguides. With the optimised etch and side treatment techniques, our SOI waveguide loss matches well to the best reported by others, and the low-temperature, low-hydrogen content SiN waveguide exhibits much reduced loss at 1520nm. With the addition of active photonic devices design and realisation, IME is one step closer to the final goal of achieving monolithic integration of all electronic and photonic devices in a single chip.
