Atomica is a U.S.-based microfabrication foundry offering advanced platforms for AI infrastructure, photonics, sensors, MEMS, and biotechnology microdevices.
We deliver rapid prototyping and scalable production to customers developing AI optical connectivity, AI optical source integration, AI photonic packaging, AI thermal microstructures, physical AI sensors, MEMS optical control systems, and biotechnology microdevices across optical communications, healthcare, aerospace and defense, industrial, automotive, and consumer markets.
Atomica operates a 30,000 square foot class 100 cleanroom near Santa Barbara, California, supporting a wide range of capabilities and materials with ISO 9001 certification and ITAR registration. Capabilities include photolithography, deposition, dry etch, wet etch, bonding, plating, metrology, testing, dicing, and planarization.
Atomica leverages engineering collaboration, process standardization, modeling and simulation, artificial intelligence inspection and optimization, advanced metrology, and proprietary fab operations systems to help customers achieve manufacturable, cost-efficient solutions.
Company Facilities
Atomica is one of the largest microfabrication foundries in the US, providing close collaboration for North American customers and the assurance that intellectual property is protected and respected. The company is privately held and controlled by Cerium Technology.
- 13-acre, 130,000 ft2 manufacturing facility with the capacity to support high-volume production
- 30,000 ft2 class 100 cleanroom
- Over 400 tools for both 6” and 8” wafer production
- ISO 9001 certified (since 2006)
- ITAR registered
- Broad materials flexibility, providing access to an extensive set of processes and materials unavailable in CMOS fabs, including noble metals, polymers, and virtually any substrate (e.g., silicon, SOI, glass, fused silica, quartz, borosilicate, piezos, and III-V).
Atomica is located in the Santa Barbara area (Goleta, California) next door to the University of California, Santa Barbara, one of the top engineering universities in the world. This talent pool combines with Atomica’s multi-disciplinary team of scientists and manufacturing engineers to tackle the hardest process development and integration challenges with an eye toward manufacturability.
