The agreement demonstrates the increasing acceptance of Entrepix' CMP FastForward portfolio by the integrated device, sensor and MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s. manufacturing markets. Under the agreement Entrepix will integrate CMP into the customer's manufacturing flow to support its volume production of advanced infrared (IR) and optical sensor systems. The CMP FastForward VPA enables the aerospace contractor to leverage Entrepix' complementary foundry and equipment expertise in order to achieve a complete CMP solution that optimizes both the financial and technological benefits for the sensor manufacturer. Commenting on the announcement, Tim Tobin, Entrepix' CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , said, "This agreement reinforces the sensor and MEMS communities' recognition of Entrepix' technical capabilities - in this instance, specifically with CMP processing of the infrared detector An infrared detector is a photodetector that reacts to infrared (IR) radiation. The two main types of detectors are thermal and photonic. The thermal effects of the incident IR radiation can be followed through many temperature dependent phenomena. simultaneously with the sensor's integrated CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. chip.
