RB-MEMS Consultant Inc.
Expert Partners for MEMS Development and Manufacturing

The production of Micro-electromechanical Systems (MEMS) devices on a large scale requires high skill and attention to detail due to their compact nature. However, with the support of a proficient MEMS design and solutions provider, developing these devices can be a manageable and rewarding process. By collaborating with such a provider, companies can benefit from their expertise and experience to produce high-quality MEMS devices that meet their needs.

RB-MEMS Consultant is a dependable provider of such solutions. The company was founded in 2017 to assist in the mass production and microfabrication of MEMS and other semiconductor-based devices.

“Our team consists of experienced professionals with experience in MEMS, photonics design, wafer processing, and prototype, and they are capable of developing products that are high-volume foundry-compatible,” says Richard Beaudry, CEO of RB-MEMS Consultant.

RB-MEMS Consultant is a firm that provides its clients with a range of services related to developing and producing Micro-electromechanical Systems (MEMS) devices such as gears and accelerometers. The company works closely with its clients to develop durable product lines that meet the specific requirements of the semiconductor foundry or fabs. Unlike other semiconductor-based devices, MEMS development requires a separate process and a unique design for each device, and the vast experience of RB-MEMS Consultant proves invaluable in this regard.

To ensure that the right requirements are met in the development of the MEMS device, the company uses partner facilities or works directly with foundries. The choice of the appropriate facility is essential for the intended outcome. Risk analysis is critical, and RB-MEMS Consultant meticulously lists all possible scopes of failure and examines the process flow to make the mitigation more effective and the device foundry ready.

Over time, RB-MEMS Consultant has also developed expertise in designing and microfabricating photonic integrated circuits (PIC) and micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems (MOEMS) for mass manufacturing. The company thoroughly understands multiple semiconductor production processes, including wafer-level packaging, plasma etching, photolithography, wet etching, PECVD, wafer bonding, and PVD deposition. With its comprehensive knowledge of these processes, RB-MEMS Consultant is well-equipped to provide its clients with the best solutions for their MEMS-based devices.

RB-MEMS Consultant ensures that the clients own all intellectual property developed during its engagement with clients. The company recently collaborated with a client seeking assistance in designing a micromirror, with the primary challenge being the development of a novel product that any other company had yet to commercialize. To achieve this, RB-MEMS Consultant conducted extensive market research to assess existing solutions and develop a unique product that met the client’s needs.

The client’s product required a high torsion angle, which presented a significant challenge in production complexity. RB-MEMS Consultant focused on hinge shapes, and comb shapes to overcome this challenge to provide the necessary actuation force. The company has developed a working prototype that will undergo necessary tests to ensure it is foundry-ready.

RB-MEMS Consultant has a wealth of experience in MEMS and photonics projects and has made great strides in providing clients with highly optimized, foundry-ready devices. The company is committed to helping its clients overcome challenges in developing their devices.

This dedication has established RB-MEMS Consultant as a trusted design and development partner, positioning it as a potential market leader.
