Intermolecular Inc's Comment on Sales, Marketing and Customers
Our customers serve large and growing markets, including the markets for semiconductors,
glass, advanced alloys, LEDs, flat-panel displays, and other applications. Success
in these markets requires rapid and cost-effective product innovation, fast time-to-market,
competitive pricing, production scalability and the ability to achieve specific
product performance requirements. Our semiconductor customers’ products
are typically manufactured using thin-film deposition of advanced materials through
customized processes that create a specific device architecture. These thin-film
structures must then be scaled and integrated into cost-effective manufacturing
processes to serve high-volume end markets. Conventional R&D approaches are
increasingly challenged by the ever increasing device complexity and the market
need to manage innovation in our target markets.
Empowered with our inter-disciplinary team and unique technology through our
HPC platform, we believe we are well positioned to assist manufacturing industries
that increasingly rely on the discovery and introduction of new materials, which
traditionally have required intensive, time-consuming experimentation due to
the fact that advanced materials are not well-understood and accurate, robust
models do not exist. Ironically, the greater expertise and higher costs required
to discover and introduce advanced materials have led to increased specialization
among materials, capital equipment, semiconductor manufacturing and IC (integrated
circuit) design companies. This specialization has left gaps in the industry
knowledge base with respect to the complex interactions among materials science,
process technology, device integration and the ability to scale to high-volume,
high-performance IC production. Our HPC platform allows us to accelerate the
rate of experimentation, and our inter-disciplinary team has been assembled
to address such gaps.
The majority of our revenue came from Guardian, Micron, Samsung, and SK hynix.
