Board with high-precision angular rate sensor (right) and MEMS sensor mounted.
Sumitomo Seimitsu Industries, Ltd. and Collins Aerospace Corporation of the U.S. will increase the production capacity of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) sensors by up to five times the current level by 2024. In addition to conventional products such as inertial sensors for aerospace applications, contract production of various sensors required for automation of factories and machines will grow significantly. Silicon Sensing Systems (SSSL, Plymouth), an English subsidiary established by the two companies in 1999 with a 50% stake each, has its sole production base at the headquarters of Sumitomo Precision Products. As the first phase of the expansion, the plant will be moved to another building by August 2008, and expanded to 3,000 square meters, about twice the current size. In addition to a clean room, etching and sputtering equipment will be added, doubling the production capacity.
