The R&D Program PRIIM Launched by IPDiA Reaches Its End and Allows the Industrialization of Ultra-Miniaturized Electronic Components
Summary
Many demonstrators refer to medical applications for which IPDiA integrated systems enable savings of up to 90 % of the total size of the product and increased electrical performance.IPDiA has taken advantage of these 4 years R&D to sustain its international leadership as silicon component manufacturer and strengthen its position in the implantable medical devices market.For further information, visit www.ipdia.com (1)CRISMAT – Laboratoire de Cristallographie et Sciences des Matériaux - CNRS, ENSICAEN, Université de Caen Basse-Normandie Press contact: Laëtitia Omnès laetitia.omnes@ipdia.com 02.31.53.54.06 Caen, France, March 23, 2014 --( PR.com )-- In January 2010, IPDiA announced the launch of a major R&D program named PRIIM, in collaboration with industrial partners (Movea, Sorin, Gemalto and Kalray) and technological partners (CEA-Leti, CRISMAT(1), 3D Plus and CNRS LAAS).The aim of this program led by IPDiA and supported by Bpifrance was to define new application requirements for high-growth markets such as implantable medical devices (stimulators, defibrillators, motion detectors), multimedia chips and complex embedded systems.Within this project, IPDiA and CEA-Leti highlight three technological results related to high performance and size reduction benefits:With 250 nF/mm² at the beginning of the project, the capacitance density for 3D silicon capacitors has achieved a new world record with a value increased by a factor of 4.The work conducted on components thickness – originally at 250 µm – has been a success and a new range of ultra low profile capacitors with a thickness of 80 µm has been introduced.The innovations carried out on TSV (Through Silicon Via or interconnects through the silicon) have led to a significant increase in the electrical performance of micro-modules.On top of these R&D results, the other main objective of PRIIM was industrialization of these technologies.For further information, visit www.ipdia.com(1)CRISMAT – Laboratoire de Cristallographie et Sciences des Matériaux - CNRS, ENSICAEN, Université de Caen Basse-NormandiePress contact:Laëtitia Omnèslaetitia.omnes@ipdia.com02.31.53.54.06 Contact Information IPDiA Laëtitia Omnes +33 (0)2 31 53 54 06 www.ipdia.com Click here to view the list of recent Press Releases from IPDiA Promote Your Business Press Release Pricing Email this page to a friend
