Magnetic Sensor Foundry Services & IP Licensing from MultiDimension 

MDT has opened its high-capacity wafer fab to provide foundry services for the magnetic sensor market 

MultiDimension Technology Co., Ltd., a leader in magnetic sensing technology with operations in both Silicon Valley and China, recently introduced new service options including foundry services and IP licensing. By providing industrial partners with access to its magnetoresistance materials and wafer fabrication technology through its high-capacity 8-inch wafer fab, the expanded services aim to facilitate innovation and collaboration in the magnetic sensor market. 

MDT manufactures magnetic sensors in TMR (Tunneling-Magnetoresistance), AMR (Anisotropic-Magnetoresistance), and GMR (Giant-Magnetoresistance) technologies. Backed by a strong IP portfolio, it has a wide-ranging product lineup including linear and angular position sensors, speed sensors, current sensors and switch sensors. Through the recent upgrade of its manufacturing facility to a self-owned 8-inch high-capacity wafer fab, now it is positioned to broaden its service offerings while continuing to deliver a comprehensive lineup of magnetic sensor solutions. 

The service options include: 

  • TMR/AMR/GMR sensors in wafers, bare-dice, or packaged devices, offering customers the most suitable option from MDT’s extensive product portfolios and design libraries; 
  • Custom design services, allowing to create unique solutions that precisely align with application requirements; 
  • Sensor design for integration with ASIC, aiming for compact, highly integrated, feature-rich, and cost-effective magnetic sensor solutions; 
  • Foundry services for the entire spectrum of TMR/GMR/AMR sensor production, including thin-film deposition, sensing device processing, packaging, and magnetic property testing for both wafers and packaged devices, allowing customers to leverage MDT’s advanced manufacturing capabilities to achieve consistent quality and fast time-to-market; 
  • IP Licensing, enabling customers to incorporate MDT’s cutting-edge technology and develop their own products with differentiation. 

They can be catered to diverse customer requirements, offering a variety of new possibilities for magnetic sensor integration and customization. Customers can create highly differentiated products that are tailored to their application requirements with streamlined development and accelerated time-to-market.
