Edinburgh, Scotland – October 8^{th, 2007 - memsstar® Technology today announced the launch of its full range of research, development and production platforms for the SVR™ and SPD™ range of process chambers. These are the industries leading technology solutions for dry isotropic etching and surface coating with ultra thin films.}

The SOLO, SENTRY and MULTI platforms are uniquely based on the same process module allowing seamless transition as products move through the research, development and production phases. Manual, semi-automated and fully automated loading and processing systems are available as interchangeable options to remove the need for expensive and time consuming requalification or reengineering. Multiple chemistries and chambers allow the MEMS designer and manufacturer to choose between a wide range of sacrificial etch materials or functional coatings; e.g. SPD™ Hydrophobic.

All systems are based on single wafer chamber processing with accurate patented process monitoring, delivering high yields and exceptionally low processing costs compared to other etch or coatings manufacturing techniques.

Automation and Software are all sourced from established production suppliers and integrated in a totally modular production process – ensuring the best possible quality and reliability.

Mike Leavy, CEO of memsstar® Technology said; "having already demonstrated the superior process capabilities of the memsstar® SVR etch and SPD coating processes in terms of quality and fast process times we have now added the necessary standard automation and fab integration systems that will allow our customers complete flexibility with high reliability. In addition our modular manufacturing processes and simple design methodologies mean the highest return on investment for our customers.

All versions of the flexible manufacturing modules, together with a wide range of etch and deposition processes, are available for immediate shipment.
