Burbank,
CA - June 13, 2005 - Monday, June 27, is the deadline
to submit designs for the second run of EFAB(tm)
Access, the first low-cost multi-project run service
to offer Microfabrica's breakthrough 3-D micromanufacturing
technology, through a partnership with MOSIS. The
companies have also announced that the deadline for
the third EFAB(tm) Access run will be September 26,
2005 and the fourth and final submission deadline
for this year will be December 19, 2005.
WHAT: EFAB(tm) Access gives companies, universities,
research labs, and individuals the ability to design
three-dimensional MEMS and microdevices and have
their prototypes produced economically through MOSIS.
The run allows devices to be built with up to 20
structural layers and is priced at $5,000 (domestic),
which is less than 10% of a typical dedicated EFAB
technology run.
WHO: The program is made possible through a partnership
between Microfabrica, a leader in microdevice and
microsystem fabrication, and MOSIS, the leading low-cost
prototyping and small-volume production service for
integrated circuit development.
WHEN: The deadline to submit 3-D microdevice designs
for the second run of EFAB(tm) Access is June 27,
2005. The deadline for the third run is September
26, 2005 and the fourth and final run for 2005 is
December 19.
WHERE: EFAB(tm) Access participants can submit their
designs to MOSIS, which will then prepare the multi-project
run layout for Microfabrica. For specific requirements
