The two partners are serving as doorways for each other to MEMS-development activities within their respective countries, and are currently identifying the major points of collaboration necessary for the development and industrialization of advanced microsystem components.

The initial joint developments focus on biochemical applications. They concern the coupling of a special dielectrophoresis method developed by Prof. Hiroyuki Fujita’s team at the University of Tokyo with a new resonating microplate-based chemical-sensor system developed at Leti's Biology and Health Technologies Department. The implementation of such a platform would considerably simplify the overall analysis system (elimination of fluid microchannels and micropumps).
Collaboration in the field of OLEDs and the standardization of microsystems is being established progressively.
Periodic technical seminars will allow active monitoring of the collaborative work.
