Abstract (English)

LEMOPTIX SA designs, fabricates and commercializes MEMS scanning micro-mirrors for optical scanning applications and specifically for barcode scanners. The company has developed unique wafer-level encapsulation technology to protect the MEMS micro-mirror from humidity and dust, enabling to target further integration and miniaturization of such micro-mirrors with other optical components such as silicon laser chips and optics. The aim of this project is to overcome the technical challenges in terms of assembly compatibility and to elaborate the industrialization strategy of this new device integrating the MEMS micro-mirror, laser and optics on a single silicon platform, for laser barcode scanner applications.
