Audio Pixels said it chose Tower, which trades as TowerJazz, because of its superior MEMS manufacturing technology including particle-free deep silicon etch technology and thick films with controlled low stress.
“In addition, their demonstrated commitment to provide expansive capacity and multi-fab sourcing makes TowerJazz an ideal partner to augment our future mass production requirements,” said Shay Kaplan, chief scientist at Audio Pixels, in a statement issued by Tower.
Audio Pixels is focused on producing a single type of MEMS-based silicon chip that can be used either as a standalone micro-speaker or used in arrays to fulfil almost any loudspeaker application.
“Audio Pixels’ MEMS-based loudspeaker is expected to have a significant impact on the multitude of industries and applications that currently consume billions of analog loudspeakers,” said Nachi Vofsy, director of R&D at Tower, in the same statement.
