Until recently, the mix of MEMs, CCD and HV-CMOS technologies being run in the Teledyne DALSA wafer foundry had restricted our ability to use gold due to concerns about cross-contamination.

We are pleased to announce that our facility infrastructure has now been upgraded to isolate the main MEMs production area and we are now able to process MEMs wafers with gold and other "CMOS un-friendly" metals and materials. Furthermore, the new C2MI R&D centre infrastructure, which we use for advanced MEMS development, has been designed from the outset to accommodate gold.
