This emerging core technology will sustain critical semiconductor industry progress in the coming decade and contribute to the continuance of Moore's law "The number of transistors and resistors on a chip doubles every 18 months." By Intel co-founder Gordon Moore regarding the pace of semiconductor technology. He made this famous comment in 1965 when there were approximately 60 devices on a chip. and the technical and economic structure of the global electronics industry that depends on it." Red Herring's lists of private companies are an important part of the magazine's tradition of identifying new and innovative technology companies and entrepreneurs.

About AmberWave AmberWave Systems Corporation (www.amberwave.com), based in Salem, N.H., leads the semiconductor industry in developing and licensing intellectual property critical to the technology used to manufacture strained silicon and other advanced 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 and chip devices. The company's strained silicon technology incorporates more than 10 years of research from MIT MIT - Massachusetts Institute of Technology , AT&T Bell Labs and its own facilities. AmberWave, with its extensive list of patents, complements its IP portfolio by providing a range of technical support services support services Psychology Non-health care-related ancillary services–eg, transportation, financial aid, support groups, homemaker services, respite services, and other services that enable IP licensees to rapidly reach high-volume production of advanced devices quickly and economically.
