Case Studies

Odyssey helps an established company expand into a new market with new technology

An established company had an idea for a next generation device to bring to market but lacked experience in semiconductor device manufacturing. After a conversation with Odyssey Semiconductor, the company decided Odyssey was the partner they needed to develop this novel device. After researching the current state of the art in existing publications and a thorough patent search, a preliminary design was developed. This design included several parameterized variations to help guide the development of subsequent designs. After the completion of the first revision of designs and testing the devices a second revision was planned. Incorporating these improvements yielded working transistors and parts were provided to packaging to complete the last steps of building the devices. Odyssey’s capabilities provided access to design, development and foundry capabilities that would not have been achievable without major capital investment in tools and manpower by the client.

Odyssey helps a researcher turns a novel concept into reality

Odyssey frequently assists researchers who find themselves with ideas and desires that are difficult to bring to fruition. When pushing past the current state of the art, fresh nontraditional approaches frequently need to be developed. Sometimes there are tight restrictions on time and the available labor to be able to meet the demanding deadlines of funded research programs. Working with Odyssey, a clear path to success is formed based on existing literature and the problem being investigated. These research efforts often include processes and materials that are outside the sandbox of typical semiconductor foundries. Working in a research partnership with real time feedback from the daily effort to allow the effort to be guided more quickly to successful completion. The complete real time data and documentation exchange also enables the required periodic reporting to funding agencies by providing a full clear understanding of project status.

Odyssey helps a start-up transition to a commercial foundry with a new device

Based on his university research, a startup founder had a novel device to bring to market. The initial effort at a university foundry produced a small number of working examples of the device and the founder was ready to consider manufacturability of the design. Odyssey worked closely with this client to produce the initial prototypes and fill the void in between single sample efforts and large-scale foundry production. Shifting to a larger foundry was unaffordable with unacceptable wait times. Odyssey had the flexibility to support rapid and frequent wafer starts greatly reducing the time required for each revision. This process helped to address material sourcing and compatibility issues while addressing implementation of processes that are transferable to other high-volume facilities once the demand and wafer count starts to exceed the capacity of our foundry. Once this level of success has been met and the company grows, Odyssey can remain a qualified second source for manufacturing and to continue to serve as a product development partner.
