The enablingMNT review on Back-End Manufacturing Equipment Suppliers for MST/MEMS provides an in-depth analysis of the state-of-the-art in MST/MEMS equipment such as those for precision position/manipulation, wafer thinning, microgrippers etc. The report provides outline descriptions for the basic underlying techniques and technologies backed up by detailed information on the suppliers from across the world. Using information from an extensive database of equipment suppliers and companies supplying Back End-specific equipment for the MST/MEMS industry, the report provides a wealth of intelligence for assessment and strategic decision-making. This review has focused on the processes adopted by manufacturers that cater specifically for back-end production of MST/MEMS and, possibly, MNT based products. The review has assessed the processes in the context of commercial availability and accessibility. This review compliments other publications in the series produced by enablingMNT, which address the various facets of the commercialisation business. In this investigation of the markets for back-end services it is noticed that there is a tendency to return to the benefits of the semiconductor industry by making use of (adapted) standard processing. Standardisation is, however, still at its infancy for most if not all of this range of equipment. Some effort in this field is, none the less, in progress, the most notable of which is the work undertaken by the ISMG group of the Semi organisation. For customers and suppliers alike, this will be a great help to enhance the quality of the products.
This study confirms that the MST/MEMS industry is, indeed, based on a strong infrastructure of equipment suppliers and service providers. The market opportunities on offer will, it is believed, be attained and exploited. Furthermore, the study establishes a definitive move by equipment makers towards addressing the growing demand specific to the MST/MEMS community.
The enablingMNT industry review on Back-End manufacturing equipment suppliers for MST/MEMS will be published end of November 2003. It has more than 100 pages, which include 12 tables, 13 figures, and 64 company profiles.
