Technology Development

With our accumulated know-how in silicon-based semiconductor processing, we can assist you to develop novel device architectures and process solutions using our advanced facilities. At IME we shall use the expertise and resources of our Semiconductor Process Technology (SPT), Integrated Circuits and Systems (ICS) land Microsystems, Modules and Components (MMC) labs to provide a full customized solution for your needs.

Our customized technology solution may include feasibility studies and Proof of Concept followed by prototype development and pilot producton in our R&D foundry, if required.

Feasibility study
Usually undertaken for the processes or products with significant amount of uncertainty about the methodology, materials or processes used for product development
Validation of product ideas, materials and processes

Proof of concept
This is carried out to determine the practicality of technical approach for the product development
Development of process modules and integration schemes to demonstrate of functionality of product idea or concept

We offer customized technology solutions in partnership with our customers as joint development or consortium projects.

Joint Development Projects
1 to 1 collaboration
Typical duration of 12-24 months
Synergy of both parties' background IPs to derive solutions

Consortium
Multiple-companies involvement
Typical duration of 12-18 months
