Abstract
For the past ten years, CSEM has demonstrated that using micro-manufacturing techniques inherited from the microelectronics industry, it is possible to batch process with micrometric precision, and centimeter-scale silicon parts featuring fine mechanical functions. High-precision mechanical watch parts can particularly benefit from this approach. CSEM, combining its expertise in the domains of precision mechanisms and micro-manufacturing techniques, is a pioneer and aims to become the Swiss Competence Center for the design, manufacturing, assembly, and characterization of hybrid silicon-based innovative watch micro-mechanisms.
