Institute of Microelectronics 11 Science Park Road Singapore Science Park II Singapore, 117685 The Institute of Microelectronics (IME) is a member of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) in Singapore. Established in 1991, our mission is to increase value-add to the electronics industry in Singapore by engaging in relevant R&D in strategic fields of microelectronics; supporting and partnering the electronics industry; and developing skilled R&D personnel. R&D at IME cover the semiconductor technology chain, viz integrated circuit design, wafer fabrication process technology, packaging and assembly, and reliability testing and analysis, as well as niche areas such as micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS). These R&D programs are broadly classified under three laboratories, namely: Integrated Circuits and Systems (ICS) Semiconductor Process Technologies (SPT), and Microsystems, Modules and Components (MMC)
