expansion when the glass-silicon compounds are subjectedto heat.Thanks to its low alkali content, MEMpax ® acts as a highqualityinsulator. For this reason, the glass is also suited forapplications requiring good dielectric properties attemperatures of up to 450 degrees Celsius.Further applications for the new MEMpax ® include all areasin which glass-silicon compounds play a role. Here, glasstakes on the function of protecting the silicon wafers insidethe sensors or connecting various components. “Thedemand for MEMS components in the consumer electronicssector in particular, e.g. as movement sensors in mobilephones, or video game consoles, continues to grow. Weconsider this to be an important field of business growth forour thin special glasses which will enable many newapplications in the future,” Uwe Wilkens concludes.About SCHOTTSCHOTT is an international technology group with more than 125 years of experience inthe areas of specialty glasses, materials and advanced technologies.
