Design
In-house tools and expertise in modeling & simulation, process design, and layout allow SB Microsystems to carry out the complete design of a new device. Many projects begin with theoretical proof-of-concept, continue to analysis in the mechanical, thermal, and electrical domains, and conclude with detailed design including final mask-level layout, circuit design, and CAD drawing of traditionally-machined parts. Unique capabilities at SB Microsystems include experience designing systems that incorporate a biological element (biosensors) and also integrating MEMS devices with circuits on the same silicon substrate.

Fabrication
Devices are fabricated through a network of commercial partners including semiconductor fabrication foundries. The details of technical interfaces and the formalization of agreements (including non-disclosures and pricing) with foundries and vendors are already in place and are transparent to the user.

Test
In-house test facilities allow for activities ranging from simple acceptance testing to complete bench-top and environmental characterization. We can provide fully packaged and tested sensors to our clients, so that they can immediately begin animal or other testing specific to their particular application.
