Innovative Micro Technology, Inc. designs, develops, and manufactures micro-electro-mechanical systems devices for companies in optical communications, biotechnology, infrared, Radio Frequency (RF) switching, and navigation industries. The company offers wafer fabrication services. It offers solutions for RF and DC switching, such as DC for Cu cross-connect for DSL applications, MM wave RF switches for military and industrial applications, capacitive and metal-metal contact switching, and hermetic wafer-level packaging. The company offers its solutions in areas, such as biomedical and biotechnology, including hazard detection device, drug delivery device, gene chips and detection systems, proteomic, pharmacogenomics, disease diagnostics, and particle detection, as well as human cell sorting, cell filtration, and separation products; infrared (IR) areas, including IR focal plane arrays for night vision applications and IR emitters for friend-or-foe applications in military and high-vacuum wafer-level packaging; and optical telecom areas, such as planar lightwave circuits, wide spectrum switching, variable optical attenuators, and add/drop switches and protection/rerouting switches. In addition, the company offers sensors, such as gas and chemical sensors, environmental sensors, and automated air quality monitoring and control products; and inertial measurement solutions, including gyro and accelerometers, as well as navigation grade military gyros for industrial applications. The company has a strategic partnership with SITRI Partner. Innovative Micro Technology, Inc. was formerly known as Applied Magnetics Corp. and changed its name to Innovative Micro Technology, Inc. in July 1992. The company was incorporated in 1957 and is based in Santa Barbara, California.
