Faster MEMS Development: Reducing Tapeouts
MEMS development is time-consuming and costly. As mechanical structures—whether accelerometers, gyros, or micromirrors—become more complex, meeting specifications grows increasingly difficult. Process Design Kits (PDKs) are also more sophisticated, adding to the challenge. This presentation demonstrates how to significantly reduce the number of tapeouts needed to develop a production-ready sensor. Learn how advanced modeling and simulation can accelerate development, cut costs, and improve first-time-right success. Whether you’re designing next-generation inertial sensors or or revise existing designs, this talk provides practical methods to streamline your design process and shorten time-to-market.

Since 2007, he has been teaching Microsystems at the Technical University of Chemnitz in Germany. In 2015, he founded his own company, i-ROM, which develops simulation software specifically for the design of MEMS the i-ROM MODELBUILDER and provides consulting services.
i-ROM GmbH
Company Profile
We are a MEMS design house offering both MEMS design consulting and software specifically for MEMS design, the i-ROM MODELBUILDER.
If you have an idea for a MEMS sensor – we have the way to get there. Whether it’s micromirrors, angular rate sensors or gyroscopes. We help you with the design until your MEMS sensor meets the desired requirements. Our software covers the entire design process, from the idea for a sensor to the complete manufacturing-ready GDS interface. All process data kits (PDK) are also taken into account right from the beginning.
With our software you can shorten the expensive and lengthy design process from an average of 3 to up to 1.5 years. Time that is worth a tremendous amount of money.
i-ROM MODELBUILDER is the new generation of simulation software. It is suitable for both experienced engineers and beginners. Its graphical user interface and intuitive operation make it a must for every MEMS company. The i-ROM software toolbox has its own FEM core, electronics and GDS interfaces. Easy to use – easy to start.
