The MEMS Cost Model enables you to understand the impact of process and foundry choices on the final cost of your product. Sometimes, reducing 5% of the final cost of the MEMS product may be more valuable than getting a multi-million dollar production order.
The MEMS Cost Model allows managers and engineers to perform scenario analyses to understand the impact of the process flow, wafer yield, die size and die yield on the final cost of the production. Should you outsource the production of the product to Taiwan? Should you use an ICP based etch step in your process flow? Are your fab utilization and depreciation rates affecting the margins? The MEMS Cost Model is designed to make these decisions easy to understand.
