UMC teams up with three others to seek government funding for MEMS project
Hans Wu, Taipei; Meiling Chen, DIGITIMES [Thursday 28 January 2010]
United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) has teamed up with Integrated
Technology Express (ITE), Siliconware Precision Industries (SPIL) and King
Yuan Electronics (KYEC) to jointly propose a MEMS product development
project, asking for financial support from Taiwan's Ministry of Economic
Affairs (MOEA), according to industry sources.
It is the first time that the Taiwan government has seen its semiconductor
companies apply for funding for MEMS development, the sources remarked.
Each of the four companies may receive subsidies of up to NT$30 million
(US$0.94 million), the sources said, adding the funding can be used only in
product R&D but not in equipment procurement.
According to the proposal, ITE will design the MEMS products, UMC will be in
charge of the front-end manufacturing, and SPIL and KYEC will handle
packaging and testing respectively, the sources said. The team will initially
focus on 3-axis accelerometer (g-sensor) production, followed by gyroscopes,
and they may develop MEMS single chips combining the two in the future, the
sources added.
