As AI clusters grow larger, denser, and more power-hungry, moving and integrating data is becoming as critical as processing it — and copper, discrete assembly, and air cooling are hitting their limits. Atomica organizes its 30,000 sq ft, ISO 9001 / ITAR U.S. cleanroom around the growth opportunities in advanced hardware, supplying the manufacturable path from prototype to volume for the precision structures that sit between a great device and a deployable system.

Our Platforms

AI Optical Connectivity Platform

Microfabricated structures for optical I/O, fiber alignment, and AI data-center interconnect

The AI Optical Connectivity Platform is Atomica’s microfabrication platform for optical I/O, fiber alignment, and AI data-center interconnect. As AI clusters need more bandwidth and denser interconnect, optical is replacing electrical — and Atomica fabricates the structures that make it manufacturable: V-grooves, silicon optical benches, microlenses, waveguides, and wafer-level packaging. Built for optical transceivers, fiber arrays, and optical engines.

AI Optical Source Platform

Microfabricated packaging for compact laser sources, fiber coupling, and optical engines

The AI Optical Source Platform is Atomica’s microfabrication platform for compact laser sources, fiber coupling, and thermally stable AI optical interconnect. Atomica doesn’t build the laser itself; it fabricates the structures around it — silicon optical benches, V-grooves, microlenses, laser submounts, and fiber-attach and thermal-isolation features — to couple light in compact, manufacturable packages. Built for laser modules, optical engines, and CPO/NPO.

AI Photonic Integration Platform

Interposers, vias, bonding, and wafer-level packaging for photonic and heterogeneous AI hardware

The AI Photonic Integration Platform is Atomica’s platform for interposers, vias, bonding, and wafer-level packaging of photonic and heterogeneous AI hardware. As AI hardware becomes limited by package-level integration rather than compute, Atomica integrates photonic, electronic, and thermal structures using through-silicon/-glass vias, interposers, and wafer-level packaging. Built for photonic interposers, optical I/O packages, and chiplet-style systems.

AI Thermal Microstructures Platform

Microfluidic and wafer-level structures for cooling high-power-density AI hardware

The AI Thermal Microstructures Platform is Atomica’s microfluidic and wafer-level platform for cooling high-power-density AI hardware. As GPUs, accelerators, and optical engines become more power-dense, Atomica provides micro-scale cooling — microfluidic channels, pumps, valves, thermal vias, and heat spreaders — for microchannel cooling, coolant routing, and liquid-cooled substrates. It bridges Atomica’s biotech microfluidics into AI infrastructure.

Physical AI Sensors Platform

MEMS and optical sensors for robotics, autonomy, and edge intelligence

The Physical AI Sensors Platform is Atomica’s MEMS and optical sensor platform for robotics, autonomy, and edge intelligence. Physical AI — machines that perceive and act in the real world — needs motion, force, environmental, and optical sensing, and Atomica organizes its sensor and MEMS capabilities into one foundation: accelerometers, gyroscopes, pressure and gas sensors, magnetic sensors, and diaphragms. Serves robotics, drones, medical, defense, and wearables.

Why Atomica?

A manufacturable path from prototype to production

Atomica is a U.S.-based microfabrication foundry that turns advanced device concepts into manufacturable, scalable hardware — and its advantage is not a single process but a system that de-risks the path from first prototype to volume.

1

Engineering Collaboration

Atomica works as an engineering partner across design, materials, fabrication, and testing, bringing diverse expertise together to optimize each micro-scale device. That collaboration is what yields better products, lower cost, faster time-to-market, and quicker adaptation to emerging technologies.

2

Process Standardization

Standardized processes give a clear framework for fabrication, scaling, and quality control. This is what delivers the consistency, quality, and efficiency that reliable, high-performance microdevices require — while supporting regulatory compliance and continuous improvement.

3

Modeling & Simulation

Atomica evaluates designs before fabrication using physics-based modeling, FEA, CFD, AI, and multiphysics simulation. Simulating first reduces prototype iterations, lowers cost, identifies risks early, and improves first-pass success across photonics, sensors, biotech devices, MEMS, and integrated microsystems.

4

AI Optimization (FabOps)

Atomica’s FabOps system applies AI and advanced analytics across wafer inspection, metrology, fab control, and project execution. By integrating equipment, process flows, pricing, projects, and manufacturing — with real-time visibility, lot tracking, and change control — it reduces risk and accelerates programs from prototype to scalable production.
