Atomera Expands Collaboration with Synopsys to Advance GaN Device Modeling

Atomera (ATOM) "announced an expanded collaboration with Synopsys (SNPS) to advance gallium nitride (GaN) device modeling for radio frequency and power semiconductor applications. The work builds on the companies' long-standing relationship around Synopsys' Sentaurus TCAD and Atomera's MSTcad toolset and extends the collaboration into GaN workflows to support bringing higher-quality GaN solutions to market. Under the collaboration, Atomera will use Synopsys' Sentaurus TCAD tools to develop a GaN calibration methodology for TCAD workflows, create marketing materials and calibrated TCAD decks for GaN devices, and provide product feedback to Synopsys. Synopsys and Atomera have worked together for years to enable modeling of Atomera's MST technology within Synopsys' Sentaurus TCAD environment. This collaboration enables support for Atomera's MSTcad capabilities and allows customers and partners to evaluate the physical and electrical effects of MST using Synopsys' process and device simulation tools."
