Atomera Incorporated (NASDAQ:ATOM), a semiconductor materials
and technology licensing company, today announced it is working
with Arizona State University to fast-track the advancement of
semiconductor materials.
Atomera is leasing lab space at the Tempe-based university as
well as funding research projects to support its efforts to breathe
more life into Moore’s Law and enhance semiconductor devices. The
partnership, which is contracted to run through 2026, offers
Atomera the opportunity to do R&D using ASU’s state-of-the-art
research centers, labs, and equipment.
“The state of Arizona is working hard to take advantage of the
recent expansion of the semiconductor industry in Arizona,” said
Zachary Holman, associate professor of electrical engineering at
the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. “As part of that, we are
teaming up with companies like Atomera to further position our
region as an essential hub of the global semiconductor industry and
leverage Arizona’s economic initiatives. This relationship is a
true testament to the success of this initiative.”
“ASU’s world-class facilities provide a rare and much needed
environment to help us deliver the cutting-edge research needed to
make progress advancing Moore’s Law. Atomera’s technology benefits
from the constantly advancing forefront of semiconductor equipment
and metrology available to us at ASU, allowing us to make atomic
level materials to address the bleeding edge of manufacturing
technology,” said Scott Bibaud, president and CEO of Atomera. “This
relationship with ASU is an example of the growing trend of
ecosystem partnerships that bring together the public and private
sectors — thus empowering innovation in semiconductors and enabling
Atomera to continue to do some of the world’s most advanced
research within the U.S.”
Atomera has built an expansive portfolio of quantum-engineered
materials technologies over the last two decades, which led to the
success of the company’s Mears Silicon Technology (MST®). These
inventions have enabled Atomera to improve semiconductors across
the board, such as providing up to a 30% increase in circuit
performance, improving transistor power efficiency, and reducing
semiconductor die sizes by 15-20% without the need for major
capital equipment expenditures.
