MST Boosts RF-SOI Capabilities to Solve Key 5G Challenges By Robert Mears, Atomera Founder and CTO Not very long ago, in 2G and 3G smart phones, the main application of an RF switch was to make efficient use of components for switching between simple transmit and receive functions. Much more is being asked of […]
Atomera MST® SP Demonstrates 50% Improvement in Key Industry Metric LOS GATOS, Calif., May 1, 2019 – Atomera Incorporated (NASDAQ: ATOM), a semiconductor materials and licensing company focused on deploying its proprietary technology into the semiconductor industry, today announced MST SP, a new technique capable of delivering a performance improvement of up to 50% […]
In my previous blog post, I highlighted one of the benefits of MST® for engineering channel doping profiles. In that application, the goal was to keep dopants away from the surface region where (inversion) on-state conduction occurs while maintaining higher doping below that to maintain control of the channel conduction and reduce off-state leakage. […]
One of the unique attributes of Atomera’s MST® technology is that it provides a new degree of freedom in the design and implementation of semiconductor doping profiles. In planar CMOS devices, a vertical well profile is typically engineered by one or more implants, which then broaden under diffusion processes during subsequent oxidations and other thermal […]
SAN FRANCISCO, November 30, 2018 – IEDM Conference 2018 – Atomera Incorporated (NASDAQ: ATOM), a semiconductor materials and intellectual property licensing company focused on deploying its proprietary technology into the semiconductor industry, will be holding a seminar on ‘MST: More than Mobility,’ at the 64th IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting in San Francisco. Join Atomera and […]
Continuing to scale down the size of transistor features has become costlier and trickier in recent years. So much so that only four manufacturers of logic chips—GlobalFoundries, Intel, Samsung, and TSMC—were even planning to continue the multibillion-dollar effort. Those ranks have now thinned, and schedules for the remaining companies are slipping. But don’t count Moore’s Law […]
The Internet of Things (IoT) is an extraordinarily competitive, crowded market. Any participant needs every possible advantage in order to stand out and succeed. Serious players are betting serious money on their ideas by developing ASICs and systems-on-a-chip (SoCs) for their new IoT devices. But these chips must meet stringent requirements in order to be […]
Highlights: STMicroelectronics, a global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics applications, has executed an integration license for Atomera’s Mears Silicon Technology™ (MST) as a continuation of their R&D phase. The phased license agreement provides rights for STMicroelectronics to integrate Atomera MST with their in-house technology. LOS GATOS, Calif., Oct. 02, 2018 — Atomera Incorporated (NASDAQ: ATOM), […]
Highlights: Asahi Kasei Microdevices, a Japanese semiconductor manufacturer of high-end specialty integrated circuits (ICs) and sensor products, has licensed Atomera’s Mears Silicon Technology™ (MST). This agreement represents the first license revenue for Atomera and the beginning of our commercial license business. Access to Atomera’s silicon enhancement Intellectual Property (IP) provides AKM with technology to address […]
Great article in the Financial Times, “The US chip industry starts to wake up to new competitive reality” about why new material solutions, like Atomera’s MST, are needed in the semiconductor industry. DARPA has decided to help find solutions by dedicating $1.5B to funding investigations into new chip architectures, materials, and design techniques. The article […]
