Based on 20 years of process development and manufacturing practice accumulation, Sweden Silex Microsystems, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sai Microelectronics, further obtains common key processes through systematic analysis and classification of MEMS product process manufacturing technologies, extraction and comparative analysis of key manufacturing processes of various products. Then focus on research and development of these processes, IP deployment, and gradually build a modular large-scale MEMS process manufacturing system. These initiatives have been effective: Sweden's Silex Microsystems AB, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Microelectronics, ranked first in the world for MEMS wafer foundry for the third consecutive year in 2019-2021. In this meeting, Saiwei Electronics exhibited several representative products of Sweden's Silex(FAB1 & 2), including: [RF MEMS switch] RF MEMS switch is one of the most basic components of electronic systems, and electronic MEMS switch is an innovator of electronic systems, serving many industries, including the next generation 5G mobile network, industrial Internet of Things market, battery management, smart home, electronic vehicles and medical instruments. A MEMS switch is a low-loss, high-power switch that only needs a few picoamps to work, and its operation speed is 1000 times faster than a typical mechanical switch. MEMS Resonators are timing devices used to generate a highly stable reference frequency that can measure time. These reference frequencies can be used to sequence electronic systems, manage data transmission, define RF frequencies, and measure elapsed time. The MEMS oscillator has better resilience against vibration and mechanical shock and has reliability with respect to temperature changes. [MEMS Silicon Photonics] Silicon photonics technology is a method of guiding light in a planar arrangement of silicon-based materials, and is mainly used to create transmitters and receivers for fiber optic telecommunications. Silicon photonics is expected to revolutionize the optical communications market due to the ability to compress more transmitted information to a given bandwidth, a given footprint, and a given cost. The MEMS-based lab-on-a-chip chip is used for rapid early detection of diseases. It is the first fully integrated molecular diagnostics system to provide automated operation, integrating clinical sample preparation, nucleic acid extraction, and microfluidic real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and detection functions into a single stand-alone system. It can meet the requirements of batch processing workflow and on-demand testing at the same time to maximize laboratory efficiency and flexibility, and the system has been deployed in the battle against the new coronavirus. MEMS technology is a key enabler for future medical devices used inside the human body. The sample shows the world's smallest pressure sensor, which is used on a surgical catheter to locally measure blood pressure in the small coronary arteries of the human heart. This product is the world's first nanopore DNA sequencing platform with unique scalability from pocket-sized devices to ultra-high throughput devices. This technology provides the ability to sequence DNA or RNA fragments of any length (short or ultra long). Currently, this technology is used by researchers in human, plant, animal, microbial or environmental genetics in 100 countries around the world, and is also gaining popularity in application markets such as healthcare or food safety.

Syrex Beijing 8-inch MEMS International OEM Project is a key project of Beijing's integrated circuit industry. The company is a brother company with Sweden Silex, the world's largest pure MEMS OEM Microsystem. Relying on Sweden's Syrex's more than 20 years of technology accumulation and MEMS mass production experience, national experts take the lead in organizing process technology development, extensively absorb high-end talents from the semiconductor industry from all over the world, work together to build MEMS international foundry lines, accelerate the industrialization process of domestic MEMS sensor products, and promote the development and progress of China's MEMS technology. In this meeting, Saiwei Electronics exhibited several representative products of Sairex Beijing (FAB3), including: [Filter] BAW filter, whose index has reached the commercial use level, with the minimum insertion loss in band reaching below 1.5dB and the out-of-band suppression exceeding 30dB. The smaller the insertion loss value means the smaller the loss of the signal, which can reduce the energy consumption of the device, improve the receiving sensitivity of the signal and increase the communication distance of the device, and the larger the out-of-band suppression means the stronger the filtering ability of the interference signal, the purer the filtered signal, and the better the user experience of the product.
