Manufacturing Cluster AMICUS

In case the Bosch foundry does not provide the technology best suited for your custom MST development, many partners within the Europractice project offer complementary technologies such as bulk micromachining, thin-film technology or SOI as well as additional services ranging from IC development, assembly and packaging up to testing and device evaluation.

Robert Bosch GmbH is supporting these activities by organizing a consortium of three MST manufacturers, the manufacturing cluster AMICUS.
AMICUS, a microsystems manufacturing cluster for European users, is the German manufacturing cluster within Europractice and constitutes of three partners offering complementary MST expertise to customers. These partners are

 Robert Bosch GmbH
 Fraunhofer ISiT
 HL-Planartechnik

The Fraunhofer ISiT offers graytone-lithography, metal surface micromachining, and design house services, HL-Planartechnik thin-film and silicon membrane technology.

MEMS products based on these technologies are
  • Micromirrors
  • Microlenses
  • Diffractive optical elements
  • Microswitches
  • Thermopiles
  • Temperature sensors
  • Magnetoresistive sensors
