The idea for STRATIO was born in the corridors of the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility (SNF) while our founders were actively researching and developing infrared technologies within the fab. The connection between our company and the SNF is a story of great collaboration and success, starting with the incorporation of our company and has continued through the issuance of breakthrough patents.
Our team of experts are trained in the use of all equipment available at the Stanford Nanofabrication Facility.
Their expertise covers readout integrated circuit (ROIC) design/implementation for CMOS and MEMS based devices and various wafer processing techniques, including various film deposition, CMP, wafer bonding & layer transfer; as well as low volume wire bonding services and custom PCB design/implementation.
Below is a non-exhaustive list of machines our team can help you with:
