Ams Introduces sensor technology optimized for iot applications

     Ams AG, a leading supplier of high-performance analog ics and sensors, announced that its foundry business unit has launched sensor technology optimized for iot applications, providing foundry customers with a complete set of tools for developing advanced sensor solutions to meet the rapidly evolving needs of today's electronics industry.

     Today's market trends such as the Internet of Things (IoT), wearables, Industry 4.0, and smart cities will fully drive the growth of the global semiconductor business and innovation in microelectronics. Emerging transmission and sensor solutions will lead to a variety of new products, and bring unlimited business opportunities for existing businesses and start-ups.

     Ams foundry services not only provide a complete range of PDK and IP module products and advanced process technology, but also have product quality inspection and supply chain management capabilities to help customers develop advanced solutions for different fields. Such as environmental monitoring, infrastructure construction, energy management, factory and home automation, transportation, wearable devices, medical and health monitoring systems.

     Specialized wafer fabrication technologies such as high-voltage CMOS for creating MEMS driver ics and switches, SiGe-BiCMOS for low noise and high-speed sensor interfaces, ULL for extended uptime of battery-powered products, and monolithic and heterogeneous integration technologies (wafer chip-level packaging and silicon perforation technology) are a wide range of on-chip systems SoC and System Package (SiP) solutions provide one-step solutions.

     Markus Wuchse, General Manager of ams Foundry Business Unit, said: "With the advent of the Internet of Things, our partners must face the challenges of increasingly complex systems and decreasing lead times. As an integral part of design and production integration, ams has advanced sensor solutions that help wafer manufacturing customers significantly reduce risk in their development process through a large IP portfolio, and reduce costs and development cycles with a complete turnkey solution."
