Atom NanoElectronics, operating as Atom Technology, was founded to supply nanomaterials for insulators and silicon substrates to the defense sector for high frequency device/circuit applications, and is now primarily focused on optoelectronics applications for semiconducting nanomaterials such as light emitting diode (LED) display screen technologies. The company was spun out of nanoelectronics research conducted at the University of California at Santa Barbara and the University of California at Los Angeles. The company has adopted technology licensing and manufacturing as its primary business strategy and is focusing on licensing its proprietary processes and products to enable optoelectronics manufactures to create high-performance products. Atom also manufactures its own nanomatierals for use in optoelectronic device fabrications. Lastly, the company provides technology transfer services.
