Problem
Developing MEMS devices often requires access to specialized fabrication facilities that can handle complex processes, ensure high yield, and protect proprietary designs. Companies without such capabilities face long lead times, limited production scale, and risk of intellectual‑property exposure.
Solution
Silex operates a dedicated pure‑play MEMS foundry that offers end‑to‑end manufacturing for custom micro‑electromechanical designs. Clients submit their designs and receive engineering support to optimize layouts for the foundry’s process portfolio, which includes high‑precision silicon micromachining, wafer‑level packaging, and advanced thin‑film deposition. The Stockholm facility provides high‑volume production capacity while maintaining strict confidentiality and IP protection throughout the development cycle. Silex’s quality‑focused workflow delivers consistent device performance from prototype through full‑scale commercial launch, enabling customers to bring MEMS products to market without investing in their own fab infrastructure.
Target Audience
Primary customers are MEMS device designers, OEMs, and technology startups that require custom micro‑fabrication and reliable volume production for sensors, actuators, and micro‑optical components.
