The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) and SAES have announced a collaboration to establish a pilot production line for high-vacuum packaging getter technology in Taiwan. This initiative, revealed on February 9, aims to enhance sensor sensitivity and lifespan, addressing critical industry challenges.

ITRI's president, Chang Pei-jen, mentioned that the technology integrates various processes to reduce reliance on overseas foundries. Getter technology is essential for maintaining ultra-high vacuum in component cavities, improving the stability and lifespan of microcomponents. The collaboration intends to enable Taiwan's semiconductor sensor industry to achieve autonomy from chip design to high-vacuum packaging, thereby reducing R&D to mass production time and overall costs.
