Atomera

Atomera, Inc. engages in the development, commercialization, and licensing of proprietary processes and technologies for the semiconductor industry. The company is headquartered in Los Gatos, California and currently employs 21 full-time employees. The company went IPO on 2016-08-05. The Company’s lead technology, named Mears Silicon Technology (MST) is a thin film of reengineered silicon, typically 100 to 300 angstroms (approximately 20 to 60 silicon atomic unit cells) thick. MST consists of layers of a non-semiconductor, such as oxygen, inserted into a semiconductor material, such as silicon, so that epitaxial growth is preserved. These layers can be used to modify or enhance the basic semiconductor properties and device attributes in a number of ways, including diffusion blocking, variability, mobility, gate leakage, and reliability, among others. MST can be used to create doping profiles. Its MSTcad is a Mathematical Model for the Synopsys Sentaurus Device Platform. MSTcad is available for Sentaurus Process and Device simulation packages, for physical and electrical characterization.
