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 a micrometric precision, 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 at becoming the Swiss Competence Center for the design, manufacturing, assembly, and characterization of hybrid silicon based innovative watch micro-mechanisms
