Triphibian® sensors are tiny MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) solutions that directly measure pressure in both liquids and gases. To do this, a sensor chip requires a protective housing—known as a “package”—which plays a key role in determining a sensor’s accuracy, durability, and the efficiency with which it can be manufactured on a large scale. Working closely together, engineers from Melexis and Neways have developed a compact package that functions reliably under harsh conditions.
Hans Büthker, CEO of Neways, commented: “A MEMS sensor chip is only as good as the package that surrounds it—especially when it has to measure pressure directly in liquids. By working closely with Melexis from the very beginning, our engineers have mastered a particularly demanding challenge in the field of packaging technology. Advanced packaging technology is a strategic focus for Neways. This partnership demonstrates what we offer technology leaders: the transformation of innovative sensor concepts into robust products that are ready for mass production.”
Marc Biron, CEO of Melexis, adds: “We selected Neways as our development partner because the company brings in-depth packaging expertise at an early stage of development—when critical design decisions are made. Furthermore, Neways knows how to turn new sensor concepts into products that are ready for large-scale deployment.”
Beyond thermal management systems, the packaged sensor solution could be used in many other applications that require compact and reliable pressure measurement. The project demonstrates Neways’ ability to bring unique, advanced packaging solutions to market for semiconductor and sensor companies.
