Silicon on insulator (SOI) wafers  for MEMS – supplier access

Silicon on insulator wafers (SOI wafers) offer excellent performance for advanced MEMS devices. SOI is a three-layered silicon-insulator-silicon substrate. This structure enables superior electrical and mechanical performance compared to silicon wafers.

LioniX International work with a range of SOI suppliers and as a one-stop-shop, we can find the right supplier for your application.
