GORE MEMS Protective Vents Improve Yields Through the MEMS Microphone Manufacturing Process

The latest portable electronic devices are expected to go everywhere with us and withstand anything, as soon as they leave the assembly line… but what about while they are still on the assembly line? In examining this challenging environment, W. L. Gore & Associates (Gore) developed GORE MEMS Protective Vents, designed to shield the device from extreme conditions faced during manufacturing and maximize yields.

Established in 1958 in Pomona, CA, Globe Plastics, Inc.became a leader in the electronics industry and expanded into advanced engineering materials and compression and injection molding high-strength composites. Since 1992, Globe Plastics found a niche in the sound and lighting industries using processes proved to be far superior and a better value than existing thermoplastics and die-cast aluminum components.
