MEMS & Microfluidic Design and Development

MEMS are noted for an exceptionally tight coupling of design and process. Because of this, all aspects of design and process must be considered simultaneously.  In addition, the unique capabilities and expertise of a fabrication partner must be factored in during the design and process development stage.   Finally, while early R&D of a MEMS product can be challenging, the true challenge often lies in the transition to robust, consistent, and high yield, low-cost production.  We bring over 30 years of experience in the MEMS and microfluidics fields, including analytical design, structural and fluidic simulation, early-stage R&D process development, migration to production, and full production.  With this experience, we de-risk and reduce the cost of the challenging task of bringing a MEMS product from inception to stable production.

In the dynamic fields of MEMS and microfluidics, consulting business development services are instrumental in bridging the gap between innovative technologies and real-world market opportunities. With a foundation of industry expertise, our services focus on crafting strategic plans that align technical advancements with emerging market demands. Key offerings include identifying lucrative partnerships that foster collaboration and growth, navigating complex market landscapes to uncover potential opportunities, and devising robust go-to-market strategies that ensure a competitive edge. By integrating technical insights with business acumen, consulting business development services empower MEMS and microfluidic enterprises to thrive in a competitive and rapidly evolving industry.

Expert Witness Services

My consulting services as an expert witness in the fields of MEMS and microfluidics leverage deep technical expertise to provide clear, defensible, and impartial opinions in legal proceedings.

We offer comprehensive litigation support, including:

·      Intellectual Property Disputes: Analyzing patent infringement claims, conducting prior art searches, evaluating trade secret misappropriation, and assessing patent validity and enforceability related to MEMS design, fabrication, and application.

·      Product Liability and Failure Analysis: Investigating the root cause of MEMS device failures in various applications (e.g., consumer electronics, medical devices, automotive sensors), determining manufacturing or design defects, and assessing adherence to industry standards and safety regulations.

·      Technical Consulting: Providing clear and concise explanations of complex MEMS technologies to judges, juries, and legal teams, helping them understand the nuances of MEMS functionality, performance, and limitations.

Our services encompass detailed technical reports, depositions, and expert testimony, ensuring a rigorous and understandable presentation of MEMS-related evidence for your case.

While semiconductor foundries are typified by a very high level of process codification and consistency, MEMS foundries are all decidedly unique.  They all have unique capabilities and expertise, as well as unique volume and cost expectations.  For a foundry partner relationship to be successful, all technical needs, as well as business relationship expectations, must be considered and aligned.  With our experience with foundry relationships, we can help align your needs with the appropriate foundry partner.
