SSI specializes in the development of new technologies and products for the advanced materials, Solar Cell, Nanotechnology, MEMs and Compound Semiconductor markets.
Varian Semiconductor Equipment Associates, Inc. designs, manufactures, and services semiconductor processing equipment used in the fabrication of integrated circuits.
Clare, an IXYS Company, designs, manufactures, and markets high-voltage integrated circuits (ICs) and optically isolated Solid State Relays (OptoMOS®) for the communication, industrial, power, and consumer markets.
Entegris serves high technology markets by purifying, protecting and transporting critical materials used in manufacturing processes. These critical materials are often the very building blocks in producing many of the world's leading microelectronic products. Customers throughout the semiconductor, data storage and fuel cell industries rely upon Entegris to precisely control microcontamination and reliably handle substrates.
Micro Magnetics is a leader in commercial applications of spintronics, a new technology which combines the fields of magnetism, electronics, and nanotechnology. It is our goal to provide innovative solutions, products, and services in the areas of semiconductor metrology and magnetic sensing. Our main product, the Circuit Scan 1000, is a high-resolution magnetic microscope which provides current density images of operating integrated circuits (ICs). This product family has found utility for failure analysis, fault isolation, and yield enhancement of ICs.
Initially, Lilliputian remained heavily focused on development, testing and validation of its core technology. More recently, the Company built a small-scale pilot manufacturing facility and embarked on development of its initial prototype products. In June, Lilliputian completed the development of its product prototype on schedule, and the Company is currently testing devices and signing commercialization agreements with select customers.
Ion Optics, Inc. is the emerging technology leader in optical-based MEMS gas detection sensors and wavelength tuned infrared emitters. Ion Optics has developed a patented optical platform technology for controlling (tuning) the infrared emission and absorption wavelengths of a silicon surface using two-dimensional photonic crystals produced through standard, high-volume, semiconductor manufacturing techniques.
Amprius’ immediate goals include commercialization of silicon-based anode materials with 10 times the capacity of current carbon anodes, offering an increase in cell capacity of roughly 40%.
Amprius, Inc., is working to develop a unique, high-throughput, continuous manufacturing process for producing a novel, nanostructured silicon-based anode material for lithium batteries. Higher energy density batteries would have a major impact on the development of electric vehicles by extending driving range and lowering costs.
