Atomera Incorporated is a materials engineering company and is engaged in the development, commercialization and licensing of processes and technologies for the semiconductor industry.
Overview
Atomera was founded by Robert J. Mears in 2001 and is headquartered in Los Gatos, California.[1] It was formerly known as Mears Technologies, Inc. and changed its name to Atomera Incorporated in January 2016. It is traded on NASDAQ as ATOM.[2][3]
Atomera used atomic level material science to develop a material called Mears Silicon Technology™ (MST®) in response to the slowdown in the advancement of Moore’s Law. [4][5] MST enhances transistors to deliver significantly better performance in today’s electronics by inserting a layer of oxygen in between the silicon lattice as the latter forms [6][7] MST is a thin film of typically 100 to 300 angstroms (or approximately 20 to 60 silicon atomic unit cells) thick which is a reengineered silicon.[8][5] In 2018, Atomera Licensed MST Technology to Asahi Kasei Microdevices and STMicroelectronics.[9][10]
