AmberWave Systems Corp.
AmberWave Systems Corp. Miscellaneous Commercial ServicesCommercial Services AmberWave Systems Corporation was founded in 1998 to answer the market demand for a technology development organization that could commercialize Silicon Germanium-graded buffer technology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Since the beginning, AmberWave Systems has been focused on building bridges between advanced materials science developed at leading universities and industrial applications. AmberWave Systems continues to develop industry partnerships to explore applications of its innovations. These relationships have led, for instance, to the development of Strained Silicon, a technology that is now used at the heart of advanced microchips to improve performance and decrease power consumption. AmberWave Systems has expanded the number of both its university partnerships and its industry partners. The company's current materials platforms encompass applications as diverse as next-generation semiconductor memory, solar energy and advanced battery technologies. From the success of the commercialization of Strained Silicon in the CMOS semiconductor industry, to current work on advanced materials for the 21st Century, AmberWave Systems is leading the way in materials science and applications. At AmberWave Systems, using an intellectual property business model of innovation, patenting, licensing and tech transfer was recognized early on as the best way to achieve efficiency in bringing new materials to users. This IP model has been successful at bringing the company's first technology platform SiGe for strained silicon to the consumer; it is dedicated to the continued effective use of this model. | Director/Board Member | 2010-09-09 |
