AMI Semiconductor and FLIR Systems announce agreement

AMI Semiconductor in Pocatello, Idaho, and FLIR Systems in Portland, Ore., announced an agreement for high-volume manufacturing of uncooled microbolometer infrared detectors. Under the agreement, FLIR will install its proprietary microbolometer detector process at AMI Semiconductor’s Class 1, eight-inch fabrication facility in Pocatello. The agreement will expand current microbolometer detector manufacturing capability and will also provide an opportunity to improve sensor yield by installing the process in a Class 1 fabrication facility.
