5microns GmbH

About us
We are an innovative and dynamic startup with expertise in microsystems technology. Our business concept includes advising both first-time users and microsystem technology specialists, designing microsystems, developing and characterizing MEMS prototypes, and micro-fabrication and processing of wafers.

We act as a one-stop shop for customers who want to outsource the development and production of microsystems. Our services do not start with the development of the customer order, but we accompany the clients already at an earlier stage of the product development cycle. Through consultations, our customers are familiarized with the possibilities of microsystem technology. Only then follows the joint development of concepts for the solution of the customer-specific problem. Then we can implement the concepts within a prototype or small batch production. In the further product development cycle, we assist our customers in the transfer of the product into mass production or in the development of their own production resources.

Our company is located in Ilmenau, an idyllic city in the center of Germany. The proximity to the campus of the Technical University of Ilmenau gives us the opportunity to carry out research-oriented projects in which students of the university can also be involved in theses, internships or secondary employment. Our technology partner, the Center for Micro- and Nanotechnologies, offers us a wide range of manufacturing technologies. Our contacts with regional SMEs also provide numerous opportunities for cooperation in various technical fields.
