Sumitomo Precision Group
− History of MEMS business −
Progress

SPP has a rich history in the MEMS industry. We're one of the few companies that both design and manufacture MEMS tools and MEMS devices. We fabricate a wide range of MEMS devices, spanning electrostatic MEMS to piezoelectric MEMS. And we are one of the world's leading providers of piezoelectric MEMS thin films.
The evolution of MEMS never stops, and its possibilities are infinite. MEMS Infinity, in conjunction with SPP and its other divisions and affiliated companies, embraces the challenge of what is possible with MEMS. Let's move into the future of MEMS together.

PZT piezoelectric thin film technology

Services that meet customer needs from Film deposition to device processing are based on the PZT thin film that has been mass-produced in the CRM/CMS series of gyroscopes developed by our company and mass-produced and sold by our affiliated company Silicon Sensing Systems. provide

PZT膜の特性を確保しつつ、MEMSアクチュエータの課題である長期信頼性をALD膜を採用し、長期信頼性を確保。

While maintaining the characteristics of the PZT film, we have adopted an ALD film to ensure long-term reliability, which is an issue for MEMS actuators.

Si DRIE technology

Using Predeus manufactured by SPP Technologies of the Sumitomo Precision Products Co., Ltd. group, which has a proven track record in mass production in MEMS device processing, we have achieved the world's highest level of high selectivity and high etch rate while optimizing verticality, side wall roughness, and CD loss. We realize this and provide highly difficult processing.

We have introduced the next-generation etching system Predeus, which supports high uniformity.
