ScanNano

Series A in 2010
Scannano is a privately-held company located and registared in Finland dedicated to the design and commercial development of a series of advanced Resonant Micro- Electro-Mechanical Systems devices (R-MEMS). Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems, also known as micro-machines, are revolutionary devices based upon the integration of mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and electronics on a common silicon chip. MEMS technology promises to benefit nearly every product category by bringing together silicon-based microelectronics with micromachining technology, to achieve the realization of complete "system-on-a-chip". The Company has developed unique, patented MEMS devices that are capable of detecting and measuring the presence and interaction of sub-atomic particles such as photons and electrons. In combination with a range of custom, task-specific software, the Scannano MEMS devices can perform their tasks with unequalled levels of speed, precision and reliability. Dr. Andrei Pavlov, President and Founder of ScanNanoTek announced further progress in its R&D Program, demonstrating the validity of its Deep Vacuum Gap Technology for the production of new MEMS devices. This follows ScanNanoTek's October 2, 2011 announcement about encouraging progress in a new R&D Program in which STMicroelectronics, for its CMOS technology expertise, is engaged.
