SERMA Microelectronics: A Contributor to COPERNICUS LSTM Satellite Project
November 1, 2021 | SERMA MicroelectronicsEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
SERMA Microelectronics has been selected by AIRBUS Defence and Space for the assembly of an optical sensor mounted on the LSTM (Land Surface Temperature Monitoring) satellite.
This satellite is part of COPERNICUS, the European Earth observation program, and will aim to measure the planet’s temperature precisely. It will be used to optimize agricultural irrigation by determining the ideal amount of water to be applied to each plot of land.
AIRBUS Madrid will be in charge of the overall project management with the design and assembly of the satellite and AIRBUS Toulouse will develop the advanced optical instrument. This new project confirms the recognized know-how of SERMA Microelectronics in the handling and assembly of large CMOS optical chips, especially for the challenging Space and Military sectors.

American Made Advocacy: Lobbying Congress Supports the Supply Chain
05/27/2025 | Shane Whiteside -- Column: American Made AdvocacyThe upheaval in world markets is driving daily headlines. The global supply chain has seemed “normal” for the microelectronics industry because over the past three decades, an increasing percentage of microelectronics components and materials have been made overseas. For many years, other countries, primarily in Asia, invested heavily in their microelectronics industry while U.S. companies offshored manufacturing services in pursuit of the lowest cost.

American Made Advocacy: America, It’s Time to Reclaim Manufacturing Leadership
04/22/2025 | Shane Whiteside -- Column: American Made AdvocacyLike other microelectronics we invented and perfected, PCB manufacturing was offshored to Asia, which undermined our ability to participate fully in the growing global PCB market. Our steady decline in global market share comes with an additional cost: U.S. PCB manufacturers are increasingly being left behind in adopting the latest equipment and process innovations that are being introduced in Asia.
