Kionix / ROHM Semiconductor
Kionix Corporation is a global MEMS inertial sensor manufacturer headquartered in Ithaca, New York, USA. Kionix provides high-performance, low-power accelerometers. Leading consumer, health and fitness, and industrial companies around the world use Kionix sensors and total system solutions to enable motion-based features in their products. Kionixs latest product innovations include the KX132-1211 (up to 16g) and KX134-1211 (up to 64g) accelerometers. Kionix uses Deep Silicons proprietary MEMS technology, called plasma micromachining, for high-volume manufacturing. This technology enables Kionix to produce MEMS products that are unmatched in performance and manufacturing cost. As a result, the company has an extensive portfolio of licensed and internally developed intellectual property. Kionix was acquired by ROHM Corporation of Japan on November 16, 2009. Kionix was able to leverage ROHMs resources as a leading semiconductor company to advance its technology, maintain growth while reducing costs, and expand its global presence with a mature and thriving international customer base.
