In January 1995, Integrated Sensing Systems (ISS) was created to design, develop, manufacture and commercialize innovative products based on high performance micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS). Originally created as a way to transfer and commercialize MEMS technology from the leading work of its co-founders at The University of Michigan, privately held ISS has focused on developing its core technology, the Dissolved Wafer Process (DWP), and the associated technologies required for the production of MEMS-based products since its inception. ISS has developed products for medical and industrial applications. The Medical division offers wireless implantable monitoring systems. The Fluidics division provides advanced density instrumentation and solutions.ISS also provides Foundry Services with services that range from single-step processing to prototyping to qualified second source to full manufacturing to technical consulting.The Foundry Services provides a patented packaging technology called NanoGetters® technology. This technology arose from a need for better vacuum packaging for MEMS resonators, with an ultra-clean getter that can be patterned on a wafer.
