Semefab have an impressive track record of process development, process set-up and high -volume foundry supporting silicon-based MEMS, CMOS, ASIC, Bipolar-Linear & Discrete semiconductor device technologies. From our unique capability within the UK we are able to export over 80% of product to Europe, North America and the Far East. Now with 3 wafer fabs on a single site – Fabs1 and 3 produce a diverse process portfolio of CMOS, ASIC, Bipolar-Linear & Discrete semiconductor technologies including precision analog integrated circuits, JFET transistors, Bipolar transistors, Photo Diodes, Mixed Signal ASICs and supports the ‘front end’ processing for Fab2.
During the past 10 years, Semefab has invested £15.2M in creating the ability to develop and manufacture advanced MEMS Sensor technologies in Fab2. Separating the three Fab's ensures the integrity of Fabs1&3 for producing ultralow leakage junctions with high carrier lifetimes and high reliability stable MOS transistors. MEMS processes often feature heavy metal processing e.g. gold and platinum and alkali ionic solutions e.g. KOH. The ability to segregate processes ensures that Semefab is able to routinely produce MEMS devices with ultra clean semiconductor characteristics where necessary.
