IMT continues to upgrade its 130,000 square-foot manufacturing campus and 30,000 square-foot Class 100 wafer fabrication clean room. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt\">MEMS technology leverages the precision and scale of semiconductor wafer manufacturing to make nano-scale structures on silicon or glass that dramatically improve the performance of devices that perform physical functions. The company is the leading independent MEMS manufacturer in North America, partnering with innovative system-vendors and fabless device firms worldwide to create and sustain competitive advantage.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt\">&#8220;This milestone signifies our willingness and ability to support our customers as their needs grow,&#8221; said Craig Ensley, CEO of IMT. &#8220;We are gratified that dozens of billion-dollar companies, including over a dozen S&amp;P 500 companies, choose to partner with IMT for their MEMS devices.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom:.0001pt\"><span style=\"line-height:normal\"><span style=\"font-size:12.0pt\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imtmems.com\">https:\/\/www.imtmems.com<\/a> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Innovative Micro Technology Inc.
