Atomera Partners with Global Chip Fabrication Leader to Accelerate MST Technology Adoption for AI and 5G Innovations

Atomera Incorporates Strategic Partnership to Accelerate MST Technology Adoption LOS GATOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Atomera Incorporated (NASDAQ: ATOM), a semiconductor materials and technology licensing firm, has announced a strategic marketing agreement with a leading global capital equipment provider. This partnership aims to expedite the adoption of Atomera’s Mears Silicon Technology™ (MST®) for advanced node customers, particularly those involved in artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, and other high-tech applications. The agreement involves collaborative efforts to refine the implementation of MST on the capital equipment provider's state-of-the-art machinery. Both companies will pool their resources to develop targeted and mature solutions, facilitating a smoother and faster integration into advanced node production processes. MST, a quantum-engineered advanced material, is designed to improve yields and reduce chip sizes on wafers, thereby lowering power consumption and production costs. "We recognize MST as a versatile, cost-effective solution that can address numerous market segments," stated Scott Bibaud, President and CEO of Atomera. "By partnering with a company that has extensive sales networks and strong relationships with chipmakers, we can significantly hasten the transition to production. Our material technology not only tackles some of the most challenging issues facing leading-edge customers but also boosts demand for our partner’s equipment, creating a win-win for all parties involved." Industry experts concur on the potential impact of this collaboration. "The synergy between materials and manufacturing equipment is crucial for supporting rapid innovation in the semiconductor sector, especially during the AI era," noted Jim McGregor, Principal Analyst at TIRIAS Research. "Leveraging Atomera’s MST on industry-leading equipment will enable more efficient chip production with minimal risk. Although the benefits will be widespread across various applications, including embedded/IoT and advanced server technologies, the partnership could prove most valuable during the upcoming transition to Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistors, known as RibbonFET and Nanosheet transistors."
