| Building Uses: > MESA was designed to accelerate the science and > application of microsystem technologies. The new and > expanded facilities foster research and prototyping of small, > highly integrated, low-power mechanisms that use integrated > circuit (IC) fabrication technology, allowing for the combination > of diverse functions on a single computer chip. |

| Client Testimonials: >“I wanted to thank you for your support to the MESA RA [Readiness Assessment] – both for your technical contributions and for your assistance in identifying the excellent team from Abbie Gregg, who supported this effort. The technical expertise that you and your team brought to this effort was certainly one of the major reasons for our success. The review that you conducted of the facility was comprehensive, but yet fair – and your professionalism and expertise were valued by the line folks. After reviewing our report, and validating the lines efforts to close the findings identified by our team, SSO decided that they did not need to perform their RA… we expect MESA to be operational late this summer. It was a pleasure working with you, and hope to meet again!” ~ Caren Wenner, Sandia National Labs, July 2006 > “We continue to use [AGI’s] FabTech Utility Matrix and it has been very useful to us.” ~ Jim Beal, Sandia National Laboratories, MESA Project, November 2005 |
