Nanotechnology Electronics

New micro and nano-technology solutions continue to emerge from innovators - technology which tackles tough problems and creates vast new markets. However, these innovative technologies must be integrated into usable real-world systems and yesterday's integrated circuit (IC) approaches are not good enough: too much space, power, and weight will negate the inherent benefits derived from these tiny innovations. Furthermore, the rapid migration of semiconductor processes dictates adoption of current/latest process nodes to avoid early obsolescence.

For over 20 years Intrinsix has been a leading provider of electronics and custom IC design solutions to emerging MEMS and sensor companies. These solutions typically consist of focused IC (analog front-end and digital back-end) development and Intrinsix often works with its strategic partners to achieve a broader solution and higher impact. Flexible engagement models and rapid deployment of very senior teams enable Intrinsix to offer unique solutions for complex budget/schedules and challenging technology.
