General information
- Short Summary
- The French start-up offers breakthrough electronic switching solutions with its cutting-edge RF (Radio Frequency) MEMS technology shrinking size, reducing power consumption and improving the electrical performances of circuits. The company is looking for industrial partners in the defence, aerospace and instrumentation sectors under commercial agreement with technical assistance for a long-term cooperation.
- Full Description
-
The firm was created by two Doctors and a Professor of the laboratory in 2012. Its R&D entailed very important technological advances which were dedicated to radio frequencies.
The SME has developed this RF MEMS technology after 11 years of R&D in a French laboratory in cooperation with the main French public and private partners above all in the defence and aerospace sectors.
RF MEMS are components that are eagerly awaited by the market and represent a breakthrough technology compared with their competitors performing the same function. Backed by 4 patents, combined with know-how developed with the French laboratory, the company offers reliable RF MEMS components in very wide frequency bands (DC-40GHz) with several billion cycles, to meet customer demand.
The firm can manufacture and provide custom circuits (Switch matrix, Phase shifter, tunable filters, Impedance matching networks…) embedding its micro-relay technology. This service relies on a strong experience in MEMS switch manufacturing. It includes: an optimized manufacturing process ready to support partner’s designs and goals, an access to the firm cutting-edge switch technology supplying best in class performances from DC to 65 GHz, an access to the hermetic wafer level packaging developed to ensure the reproducibility and robustness of the MEMS membrane during operation and a back-end service for an integration of the circuit in a standard package or a bumping service for flipchip bonding.
The firm is now willing to sell worldwide its technology finding industrial partners in the following applications sectors: defence, aerospace, instrument testing sectors in particular. - Advantages and Innovations
-
RF MEMS represent a disruptive technology compared with semiconductor components that perform the same function, because they guarantee:
- a very good figure of merit
- virtually zero power consumption
- excellent linearity
- miniaturisation of circuits
- good power handling - Technical Specification or Expertise Sought
-
Technical specifications are:
• Low insertion loss DC-40 GHz SPDT switch
• True DC, ultra-wideband (0 to 40 GHz)
• Low Insertion loss, (< 1.26 dB @40 GHz)
• High linearity (IP3 > 60 dBm)
• High isolation (> 32 dB @ 40 GHz)
• Video feedthrough (< 1 mVpp)
• Low Power Consumption (< 1 µW)
• Compact Flipchip solution (1.6 x 2.1 mm²)
• Reliable (> 1 billion cycles) - Stage of Development
