The Total MEMS Solutions paradigm is a new concept in MEMS services, which provides the MEMS market with the expert support needed to take their ideas and concepts to market, beginning with its world class modelling, simulation and design MEMS software, MEMS device design services, customised MEMS software development, MEMS device prototyping and traditional MEMS foundry services.

Many customers have benefitted from IntelliSense Total MEMS Solutions. In one instance, a company required the development of special wet etch technology to enable timely delivery of its latest medical MEMS device. IntelliSense delivered IntelliEtch,an anisotropic wet etch simulator for silicon and quartz, together with Blueprint, a unique MEMS mask layout tool with a built in DRC tool. Using these tools, the client worked with IntelliSense engineers to design their multi-step etch process and achieve their desired wet etch surface profile. In addition, IntelliSense helped the client to extract their own unique, proprietary etch rate database so they could remain competitive.

Along with software and fabrication services, IntelliSense has also been able to assist clients in navigating the market to find more cost-effective solutions while protecting their IP, all without sacrificing performance. With operating entities in both the US and China, world-class designers and a state-of-the-art facility, IntelliSense provides its solutions globally.
