Insights into SAL’s mission, values, research activities, and contribution to Europe’s innovation ecosystem.

AURORA

In collaboration with TDK Electronics, Silicon Austria Labs (SAL) developed next generation 2D micromirrors for AR/VR applications focused on large field of view, low power consumption and compact form factor. These devices were prototyped via SAL’s 200mm PiezoMEMS technology platform.

Project goals

  • Development of new concepts for designing efficient MEMS devices tailored to AR/VR applications
  • Development of thin film technological modules highlighted by high-quality piezoelectric thin films
  • Establishment and optimization of PiezoMOEMS microfabrication technological platform
  • Custom characterization setup and techniques tailored to PiezoMOEMS devices

An established design, technology and characterization platform was built and validated through multiple generations of PiezoMOEMS that have been successfully developed, built, and tested.
