IPDiA’s Technology Awarded with the "Grand Prix Siemens de l’Innovation"

For its 10th birthday, the "Grand Prix Siemens de l’Innovation" has been awarded to IPDiA. This event is the opportunity to reward the technological progress and the investments in Research & Development made by the most innovative French companies. The previous years, Saint Gobain, Novartis or PSA Peugeot Citroën have reached the podium.

Caen, France, September 15, 2011 --(PR.com)-- This year, IPDiA has stood apart from the others thanks to its PICS technology (Passive Integration Connecting Substrate). This patented technology is using the thickness of the silicon to integrate hundreds of passive components, which allows to reduce the device area while increasing the components density and also their performance. These passives play the role of a filter or a protection to the actives namely, processors, reception circuits, amplifiers. The silicon itself brings a level of integration and of miniaturization that has never been reached so far, as well as a level of electrical performance 10 times better than what is obtained with the standard ceramic components.

Some smaller, more reliable electronic devices, less energy eaters have started to be on the market. These features fit perfectly the requirements set by some specific areas such as smart metering (e-metering), implantable medical devices, mobile or embedded electronic devices.

The award
Each year, the competitors are judged by a panel of expert judges and have to satisfy several criteria: investments and R&D programs, patent registrations, number of partnerships made, technological progress. Productivity, competitiveness, environment protection and improvement brought to end users have also been key factors in the final decision.
