Advanced MicroSensors (AMS), acquired by Plures Technologies, develops and manufactures high-performance products for the Magnetics, Thin Films, and MEMS manufacturing industries. AMS specializes in MEMS device property optimization through the microstructure control of thin films via materials and process tuning, then develops and manufactures these customized MEMS devices to a diverse set of end-customers and markets. Technological drivers for MEMS devices include component and system miniaturization, reduced power-consumption, improved performance and novel capabilities. MEMS devices can be coupled with traditional semiconductor devices and with newer nano-technologies to create integrated âsmartâ sensors and actuators and new types of sensors with enhanced capabilities
