CORONA is a European project of nine partners all along the value chain in micro and nanotechnologies (MNT).
CORONA attempts to accelerate the businesses of European companies.

Their competitiveness very much relies on short time-to-market, which can only be achieved by faster product engineering.
The results of the project CORONA will support you to face this challenge.

 

Benefit from shorter time to market by:

• Faster product engineering
• Customer-lead multi-site product development
• Access to knowledge-base on design and processes
• Information and communication technology (ICT) structure and tools

Bosch

The Bosch Group is a leading global supplier of technology and services. In the areas of automotive and industrial technology, consumer goods, and building technology, some 280,000 associates generated sales of 45.1 billion euros in fiscal 2008.

The Bosch Group comprises Robert Bosch GmbH and its more than 300 subsidiaries and regional companies in over 60 countries. If its sales and service partners are included, then Bosch is represented in roughly 150 countries. This worldwide development, manufacturing, and sales network is the foundation for further growth. Each year, Bosch spends more than 3.5 billion euros, or eight percent of its sales revenue, for research and development, and applies for over 3,000 patents worldwide. With all its products and services, Bosch enhances the quality of life by providing solutions which are both innovative and beneficial.

Cavendish Kinetics

Cavendish Kinetics is a privately held embedded MEMS company that is changing the way IC designers view MEMS devices. The proprietary NanoMech™ MEMS platform dramatically reduces the cost of incorporating MEMS components into semiconductors by eliminating expensive MEMS packaging. The foundation of the NanoMech™ platform is the creation of sealed cavities between the metal layers in the metal interconnect system of standard IC processes without requiring special materials or equipment. The Nanomech™ MEMS platform does not impact transistor characteristics or any other characteristics of the process.

Fries Research & Technology GmbH

Fries Research & Technology GmbH (FRT) offers a comprehensive range of metrological surface measuring systems for the non-destructive investigation of topography, profile, film thickness, roughness, abrasion and many other properties. More than 300 reputable international companies from the automotive, semiconductor, MEMS, optical, photovoltaic and many other industries equip their R&D and production departments with FRT metrology systems.

FRT operates from Bergisch Gladbach, Germany and maintains subsidiaries in China, Switzerland and the United States. Additionally, FRT provides a distribution and service network in the USA, Asia and Europe as well as a branch office in Munich.
