Objective
The overall aim of this Service Action Integrated Project is to provide access services and prototyping platforms with a route to manufacture for highly integrated microsystems, combining smart silicon functionality with polymer in a multi-domain environment. This will be achieved by extending the Europractice manufacturing Cluster INTEGRAM, which focused on Silicon sensors and electronics, to multi-technologies (Silicon, polymers) and multi-domains (fluidic, optical, mechanical, electrical, biological).
The consortium will also pull through and exploit for customers Design for Manufacturing principles being developed in the FP6 Network of Excellence PATENT-DfMM. This new multi-polar centre, INTEGRAMplus, will be a unique combination of competences across Europe linked with a network of supply chain partners and aims to provide European industry with a world-leading facility to stimulate take-up and accelerate time-to-market of smart mixed-technology components and solutions.
The goal is to achieve a high degree of flexibility to address the need for increased complexity in microsystems without sacrificing the requirement for stable manufacturable processes. This will be achieved by focusing on standard processes and interfaces with design rules but offering additional functionality through incorporation of non-standard materials and linking multiple technologies. The focus will be on integrating Silicon-based MEMS components, which provide smart functionality, with polymer backplanes and platforms which provide additional functions, packaging and interfacing to the macro-world.
The combination of the complementary capabilities of the partners and the ability to design, prototype and manufacture via a distributed network will demonstrate a new flexible manufacturing methodology for mixed-technology systems. INTEGRAMplus will aim to overcome these barriers and stimulate take-up of smart microsystems by SMEs in emerging markets for the information/ageing society.
