About SRI Foundry

We provide end-to-end custom microfabrication process development services, including epitaxial growth of Gallium Arsenide (GaAs), Indium Phosphide (InP), and Gallium Nitride (GaN) heterostructures, novel device development, and back-end-of-line microfabrication. We work with diverse types of substrates, including semiconductors, glass, and organics. Application space includes quantum systems, life sciences, data communication, automotive, and AI hardware. Example devices include avalanche photodetectors, optical modulators, Vertucak-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSELs), Ultraviolet (UV) laser diodes, thin film transistors, glass interposers, imagers, and Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS). By offering flexible engagement models, from feasibility studies to full process transfer, we help clients accelerate innovation while reducing technical risk.​

“[The project] went really well. [The team] did a great job. We left with a very positive impression about PARC/SRI and what the team has contributed to our understanding of the materials and technologies. One other positive is that MN [Associate Director of a Fortune 500 customer assessing plans for pilot line deployment] left with a very positive impression. Last time he was here was [in] November and the progress made since then is remarkable. Sometimes it takes a visit from someone not involved in the day-to-day, to see and understand that. Mission accomplished for today!”
