Atomera Inc

Headquartered in Los Gatos, California, Atomera Incorporated develops and licenses proprietary process technologies for semiconductor manufacturers. The company's primary offering is Mears Silicon Technology, a thin-film silicon enhancement applied to CMOS transistors to improve their performance. Rather than manufacturing semiconductors directly, Atomera operates a licensing and technology development business model, partnering with foundries, integrated device manufacturers, fabless semiconductor companies, and original equipment manufacturers to integrate its solutions into their production processes.

The company serves customers across North America and Europe, with revenue derived primarily through technology licensing arrangements. Atomera's customer base encompasses various segments of the semiconductor industry supply chain, including electronic design automation companies that incorporate the technology into their tools and processes. The company was incorporated in Delaware in 2001 under the name Mears Technologies, Inc., and rebranded to Atomera Incorporated in January 2016. The semiconductor equipment and materials sector represents a capital-intensive, technology-driven market where Atomera positions itself as a process technology provider rather than a capital equipment or wafer manufacturer.
