ATMI acquires Epitronics; adds thin film manufacturing for advanced wireless and optoelectronic products.DANBURY, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 29, 1995--Advanced Technology Materials, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATMI ATMI American Textile Manufacturers Institute ATMI Association for Technology in Music Instruction ATMI Advanced Technology Materials, Inc. ATMI Application-to-Transaction Manager Interface ATMI According to My Information ATMI Atm Interface Unit ), today announced the acquisition of Epitronics, Inc. of Phoenix, Ariz. Epitronics specializes in the manufacture of semiconductor thin films for the wireless and optoelectronics markets. ATMI will integrate Epitronics into its Diamond Electronics Division, which is dedicated to the commercialization of advanced semiconductor technology based on diamond and related materials. Duncan Brown Duncan Brown was the bass player for British indie band Stereolab. He joined the band in 1993 and stayed until 1996, performing on each release from Space Age Batchelor Pad Music until Emperor Tomato Ketchup. , ATMI Vice President of Diamond Electronics said, "Epitronics' products and manufacturing capability will complement ATMI's silicon carbide silicon carbide, chemical compound, SiC, that forms extremely hard, dark, iridescent crystals that are insoluble in water and other common solvents. Widely used as an abrasive, it is marketed under such familiar trade names as Carborundum and Crystolon. and gallium nitride An alloy of gallium and nitrogen (GaN) that is used in semiconductor devices for lasers and LEDs, including blue lasers. Gallium nitride has the thermal and chemical stability required in laser applications. See gallium arsenide. development efforts. It also provides enhanced distribution capability to our growing portfolio of wafer and thin film products." Dr. Robert Adams Robert Adams or the diminutive, Bob Adams, may refer to: Athletes
ATMI, with headquarters in Danbury, Conn., develops advanced semiconductor thin film processes and semiconductor materials Semiconductor materials are insulators at absolute zero temperature that conduct electricity in a limited way at room temperature (see also Semiconductor). The defining property of a semiconductor material is that it can be doped with impurities that alter its electronic properties , including silicon carbide and gallium nitride. It is also a leading provider of environmental equipment and next-generation thin film materials to the worldwide semiconductor industry.
