Ultra-integrated • Accurate • Affordable
iNGage pushes the boundaries of high-performance MEMS navigation sensors for autonomous mobility. Leveraging a breakthrough M&NEMS technology protected by more than 30 patents, iNGage aims to make high-performance navigation sensors—essential for GPS-free navigation—accessible to high-volume applications such as industrial robotics and automotive.
According to leading analysts at YOLE Development, the high-performance MEMS inertial and pressure sensors market is valued at:
from 2024 to 2030
To operate without GNSS signals—whether underground, inside buildings, in mountainous or urban environments, or under jamming conditions—autonomous systems rely on high-performance gyroscopes inertial measurement units (IMUs), and pressure sensors. However, existing solutions are bulky and costly. While MEMS technology offers the potential to meet size and cost constraints, no multi-axis solution has yet achieved the required performance levels.
The emergence of affordable, high-precision navigation sensors will unlock new use cases, enhancing localization accuracy, autonomy, and overall system efficiency.
At iNGage, we aim to bring near navigation-grade and tactical-grade sensors to high-volume markets with our breakthrough MEMS technology. By drastically reducing the size, weight, and cost of high-performance sensor-fusion navigation systems, we enable:
iNGage’s unique and scalable MEMS technology platform enables the production of:
Built on standard MEMS process blocks and equipment, our technology is designed for seamless integration into existing high-volume, automotive-qualified MEMS and ASIC production infrastructures. By adopting a fabless business model, iNGage ensures scalability, cost efficiency, and rapid market deployment.
iNGage is revolutionizing inertial sensing by leveraging CEA-Leti’s M&NEMS technology which was developed over 15 years of R&D and which is protected by 30+ patents. The technology enables the co-integration of inertial sensors (accelerometers and/or gyroscopes) with pressure sensors on a single chip. This is made possible by the shared and unified fabrication process used for both our pressure and inertial sensors, ensuring seamless integration and enhanced performance.
By unlocking new levels of precision, compactness, and cost efficiency, iNGage is paving the way for next-generation high-performance inertial measurement units (IMUs) and navigation systems.
iNGage’s technology combines the scalability of MEMS technologies with a smaller and ultra-sensitive piezoresistive nano-gage detection principle. This innovation brings an unprecedented level of sensitivity, exceeding capacitive MEMS by a factor of 10, and approaching FOG performances at a fraction of its cost.
iNGage and its strategic R&D partner, Politecnico di Milano, have recently demonstrated yaw rate gyros with Bias Instability of 0.04°/h and Angular Random Walk (ARW) of 0.006°/√h. To date such multi-axis compatible performances were only reachable with expensive and bulky technologies like FOG, HRG or bulky MEMS modules.
iNGage and its partners have demonstrated absolute barometric pressure sensors with built-in self-test and self-calibration, achieving a resolution of less than 1 Pa. The measurable pressure range can be extended to several bar or even tens of bar, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
iNGage is managed by an experienced team with a strong background on MEMS and semi-conductor manufacturing as well as MEMS navigation sensors development and sales.
