STMicroelectronics Earns MEMS Manufacturer of the Year Award
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Shanghai, August 1, 2016 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics
applications, has been named the MEMS Manufacturer of the Year at the MEMS World
Summit, a leading MEMS Manufacturing Conference gathering the top executives in
the Worldwide MEMS Manufacturing Industry. The event took place in Shanghai on
July 25-26, 2016.
The prestigious recognition from the advisory board members[1] of the MEMS World
Summit, which consists of leading research institutes, leading Equipment
Manufacturers and MEMS Manufacturers, underlines ST's position as an industry
leader with 11 billion MEMS[2] sensors shipped to date and the only company
with the expertise to cover the full range of micro-machined silicon devices
that include both sensors and micro-actuators. In naming ST, the jury
highlighted the significant role of ST's high-efficiency 6-axis MEMS sensor
modules in driving the transformation of smartphones into intelligent personal
assistants as one of the key winning factors. Other high-score criteria for ST
included product development, revenue, and company culture.
"ST has always been a leader in MEMS and we want to recognize their continued
presence at the top. The evaluating criteria for selecting this year's winner
were also based on factors such as revenue, product development, company
culture, and company awareness," said Salah Nasri, Advisory Board Chair of MEMS
World Summit.
"The performance of 6-axis MEMS sensor modules, which have become a key building
block of today's consumer and IoT devices, has enabled new features in
smartphones and more broadly new user experiences," said Andrea Onetti, Group VP
and General Manager, MEMS Sensors Division, STMicroelectronics. "ST is honored
to receive this award as we strive to bring continuous innovation to the
development and deployment of MEMS technologies for a variety of fields,
including industrial and automotive."
