Designing MEMS Devices for Commercial Applications
Norcada is an innovative MEMS Design & Development company based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. MEMS, or micro-electro-mechanical-systems, are tiny devices often made in silicon using similar processes to semiconductor chips. The primary difference is that a MEMS device commonly has a mechanical actuating element, such as a cantilever, a tilting micro-mirror, or a moving membrane.
A MEMS device often has features that are only the size of a few microns! To put that in perspective, a human hair is usually about 60-100 microns thick, which is actually significantly larger than some MEMS features. Due to the extremely small scale of a MEMS design, it allows the device to be very precise in its sensing, measurements, and movements.

Silicon Nitride Membrane
Silicon Nitride Membrane from Norcada
The silicon nitride membrane is robust and low stress (~250MPa), and is ideally suited for a wide range of microscopy and spectroscopy work such as TEM, X-ray, IR and UV.
Silicon Nitride Membrane Windows
MEMS Design
Nitride membrane windows from Norcada provide quality support films for TEM analysis, x-ray microscopy, and IR or UV spectroscopy. Low stress silicon membranes can be used for cell windows, specimen support frames, microscope grids and more.
