Kionix成立于1993年，是位于美国纽约州伊萨卡的一家私有公司。公司是在最初由康奈尔大学研发的高深宽比硅微加工技术方面的先驱，今日在MEMS产品设计、工艺制程和品质控制方面享有全球声誉。消费电子的全球巨头们在游戏、移动终端、个人导航以及硬盘保护产品使用Kionix的产品。Kionix的MEMS产品细分为汽车用、工业用、和医疗健康用。公司提供的MEMS惯性传感器是业界最多元化的系列之一，包括单轴、双轴、及三轴加速度计，陀螺仪、及独特的传感器组合。

Kionix, Inc. 是一家全球性的 MEMS 惯性传感器厂商，总部位于美国纽约州伊萨卡。 Kionix 提供高性能、 低功耗加速度计, 陀螺仪及 6 轴组合传感器，还提供全面的软件库为各类传感器组合、操作系统和硬件平台提供支持。 全球主要的消费类电子产品、汽车、健康与健身及工业公司都在使用 Kionix 的传感器和整体系统解决方案，以便在其产品中实现基于运动的功能。

Kionix 的最新产品创新包括全功能型、低功耗、2x2x0.9mm 加速度计、高度仅为 0.7mm 的超薄型加速度计以及突破性的 KMX61G。 KMX61G器件是一款高性能、低功耗的磁力计-加速度计产品，它通过集成传感器融合软件和自动校准算法提供业界首例非常精确的陀螺仪模拟。 

Kionix 在量产中采用了一种称为等离子体微机械加工的硅深刻蚀专有 MEMS 技术。 要查看这种技术的示例，请观看我们的 等离子刻蚀视频， 该视频演示了 MEMS 惯性传感器如何成型。 利用这种技术，Kionix 公司能够生产在性能和生产成本上都出类拔萃的 MEMS 产品。 因此，该公司拥有大量许可知识产权和自主开发的知识产权。

2009 年 11 月 16 日，Kionix 被日本 ROHM Co., Ltd. 收购。  这样，Kionix 能够利用 ROHM 这一全球领先半导体公司的资源，从而发展其技术、维持增长同时降低成本并且通过稳固且不断壮大的国际客户群扩大其全球影响范围。该公司继续沿用 Kionix 这一名称运营，其产品仍然主要在其位于美国纽约州伊萨卡市的总部生产。Kionix 对客户在销售、发展支持、集成专业技能以及价格方面的承诺依旧高于一切。

Kionix 凭借旗下两家 MEMS 工厂和内部测试工厂，可为客户制造顶级质量的产品。这两家工厂分别位于美国纽约的 Ithaca 和日本的京都，提供 6" 和 8" 的晶圆处理、100 级和 1,000 级的工厂净化室、10,000 级的测试净化室、最先进的制造设备以及高速自动测试设备。除了在制造工艺的每个步骤提供冗余，Kionix 工厂还为客户（包括销售量最高的客户）提供快速订单交付服务，而 Kionix 对业内最佳制造工艺的承诺则使公司能够达到优异的百万分率 (ppm) 的成功率。

今天，Kionix 继续对多种产品应用不断增长的市场需求做出响应，同时在诸如汽车、消费类电子产品、生物科学、无线通信及药物研究等各行各业内创造新的产品机会。

Kionix 公司通过 ISO 9001:2008、TS 16949 和 ISO 14001: 2004 认证。

Kionix, Inc. is a global MEMS inertial sensor manufacturer based in Ithaca, NY, USA.  Kionix offers high-performance, low-power accelerometers, gyroscopes, and 6-axis combination sensors plus comprehensive software libraries that support a full range of sensor combinations, operating systems and hardware platforms.  Leading consumer, automotive, health and fitness and industrial companies worldwide use Kionix sensors and total system solutions to enable motion-based functionality in their products.

Kionix's newest product innovations include the ultra-thin KXCJB accelerometer at only 0.45mm high, the high-sensitivity, low-latency, low-power KMX62 magnetometer-accelerometer, the 32g high bandwidth KX222 and KX224 accelerometers, and the industry-leading low power KXG07 and KXG08 six-axis accelerometer-gyroscopes.

Kionix utilizes a deep-silicon, proprietary MEMS technology known as plasma micromachining for its high-volume production. To see an example of this technology, please watch our plasma etch video that shows how a MEMS inertial sensor takes on its form.  This technology enables Kionix to produce MEMS products that are unmatched in performance and manufacturing cost.  As such, the Company holds an extensive portfolio of licensed and internally-developed intellectual property.

Kionix was acquired by ROHM Co., Ltd. of Japan on November 16, 2009.  Kionix is able to leverage ROHM's resources as a leading semiconductor company in order to advance its technology, sustain its growth while reducing costs, and expand its global reach through an established and thriving international customer base. The Company continues to operate as Kionix and its products continue to be produced primarily at its headquarters in Ithaca, New York, USA. Kionix's commitment to customers in sales, development support, integration expertise, and pricing remains paramount.

Kionix offers customers unparalleled quality manufacturing at its two captive MEMS fabs and in-house test facilities.  Located  in Ithaca, NY, USA and  Kyoto, Japan, these facilities offer both 6" and 8" wafer processing, class 100 and 1,000 fab clean rooms, class 10,000 test clean rooms, state-of-the art fabrication equipment, and high-speed automated test equipment.  In addition to providing redundancy at every step of the manufacturing process, Kionix facilities enable rapid order-to-delivery times for even the highest-volume customers, while Kionix's commitment to best-in-business manufacturing processes enables the Company to achieve an exceptional parts-per-million (ppm) success rate.
