SAN JOSE, Calif. and
SHANGHAI, Nov. 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Intermolecular, Inc. (NASDAQ: IMI), the trusted partner for
advanced materials innovation and SITRI, the innovation center for
accelerating the development and commercialization of "More than
Moore" (MtM) technologies, today announced a strategic alliance to
accelerate materials innovation. As part of the partnership,
Intermolecular will extend beyond pathfinding and screening by
gaining access to test vehicles and device capability through the
use of SITRI's MtM fab and SITRI will leverage Intermolecular's
expertise to perform rapid screening to optimize critical material
selections. Together the two parties will bring their joint
solutions to customers working on new device technologies.
"We look forward to working with SITRI to bring our materials
expertise and methodology to their partners and customers," said
Chris Kramer, CEO of Intermolecular.
"The discovery and implementation of new materials will drive
innovation for 'More than Moore,' but is extremely complex. Our
High-Throughput Experimentation platform combined with SITRI's
expertise and strong ecosystem can rapidly ease materials screening
and enable the next generation of technology innovations."
"More than Moore" is the next wave of innovations such as MEMS,
Sensors, Optoelectronics, RF, Bio, and micro-Energy that do not
depend on feature-size driven CMOS technology (the "Moore's Law").
The first of its kind for "More than Moore" and IoT hardware
startups, SITRI provides entrepreneurs a full spectrum of services
and resources designed to help them succeed in their development
and commercialization phases.
"This cooperation with Intermolecular will expand SITRI's
capabilities across the supply chain to bring new innovative ways
to discover and test materials," said Charles Yang, president of SITRI. "I am
confident that Intermolecular's proven methodology and experience
will enhance our industrial ecosystem."
