ST already makes MEMS sensors, actuators, drivers and controllers.
OQmented has a patented way to vacuum-encapsulate MEMS using hermetic glass bubbles to eliminates environmental contaminants with minimal light-refraction – branded Bubble MEMS.

“Combining ST’s expertise in developing, marketing, and manufacturing key components for laser-beam scanning solutions with OQmented’s knowledge and intellectual property will contribute greatly to our product offering, manufacturing capacity, and marketing channels, while also expanding the market in numerous application areas,” said OQmented founder, CEO and CTO Dr Ulrich Hofmann.
Output from the joint venture is expected to include MEMS mirrors, drivers and controllers, and reference designs for laser-beam scanning engines for a range of applications.
