Atomica Enhances Rapid Prototyping Services with Advanced Simulation
PRESS RELEASE
New simulation capability helps teams evaluate design performance early, reduce iteration cycles, and streamline the path to fabrication.
SANTA BARBARA, CALIF. (PRWEB) April 16, 2025
Atomica, the US leader in microfabrication, has launched a new Simulation and Modeling offering that helps product teams accelerate development, reduce costly design iterations, and bring high-performance devices to market faster. This capability supports a wide range of applications, from photonics and sensors to biotech and MEMS, enabling early-stage design validation before entering the fab.
The service allows customers to simulate the performance of key device structures under mechanical, electrostatic, and thermal stress — helping identify performance issues and failure modes in advance. By modeling both device behavior and process interactions, Atomica enables faster, more informed prototyping decisions across standard and custom process stacks.
"Our simulation capability bridges the gap between concept and fabrication. It helps customers make informed tradeoffs on performance, yield, and reliability - before they commit to wafers. That's a big win in terms of cost, time, and product confidence." - Darwin Enicks, CTO of Atomica
The offering integrates with Atomica’s platform-based development model and is purpose-built to support rapid iteration and scalable production. When paired with Atomica’s in-house fabrication capabilities, simulation helps reduce development risk and shortens time-to-market across diverse microfabrication use cases.
