 
 MMPM MEMS Technology Summary
MMPM (Micro-scale MEMS Point Mold)
							
MMPM technology is differentiated Point Engineering’s MEMS process which uses wafer-scale wet etchable material with high aspect ratio for mold for electroplating 
							 in replace of photoresist to fabricate micro-scale MMPM features.
						
Vertically wet-etchable
▪ Micron-precision features within 1~2um of typical tolerance
Single mold layer thickness up to 120um
▪ Simplify MEMS electroplating process via max 120um thickness single mold
Enable precise patterning with high aspect ratio
▪ Extends the variety of shapes with max 20:1 of high aspect ratio
Excellent heat & chemical resistance properties
▪ Expand electroplatable metals (Au multi-layer)
▪ Optimal electroplating conditions for each metals.
8’’ wafer-scale MEMS process possible
