Solid State System (3S), a Taiwan-based NAND flash controller design house, has recently developed its first single-chip design MEMS microphone, a company spokesperson has confirmed. The company is set to kick off volume production at United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC), which has provided customized processes for CMOS image sensor (CIS) designers, in the third quarter of 2009.
UMC recently completed the co-development of its mixed-signal/MEMS process technology with Taiwan's National Tsing Hua University (NTHU). 3S will be working with UMC to tap the MEMS microphone market.
