Shawn Thomas Joins Atomera as VP of Marketing and Business Development

Atomera Incorporated (NASDAQ:ATOM), a semiconductor materials and technology licensing company, today announced the appointment of Shawn Thomas as its new Vice President of Marketing and Business Development. With over two decades of experience in the semiconductor industry, Shawn joins Atomera from Applied Materials where he led efforts, within the Epitaxy Business Unit, focused on advanced node customers, a key area of interest for Atomera’s stakeholders.

Shawn’s expertise spans the semiconductor value chain from materials and substrates, equipment and process development to device and integration across varied application spaces including CMOS logic, wireless/RF, photonics and power electronics. Among his career highlights, Shawn helped develop Motorola’s first SiGe BiCMOS technology and led its subsequent transfer to volume manufacturing, worked with multiple Tier 1 foundries to penetrate new epitaxial deposition systems to enable their CMOS scaling roadmap, and led the SOI new product development at GlobalWafers. Shawn comes to Atomera with a deep understanding of the semiconductor ecosystem and a proven track record of driving growth and innovation.

“For the past few years, Shawn has been working with leading chip makers on the advanced logic, GAA structures to be used in the world’s highest-performance chips. This experience made him the ideal fit to join Atomera. We look forward to his contributions in elevating our vision of pushing the boundaries of material science within the semiconductor industry,” said Scott Bibaud, CEO of Atomera. “As we continue to expand our portfolio of quantum-engineered material technologies, including the recently announced ultra-thin MST-enabled RF-SOI, Shawn’s background will play an integral role in driving adoption of our future-looking offerings and technology.”

Shawn’s educational and career experience has focused on materials engineering to enhance device performance through epitaxy, which aligns with Atomera’s core mission. As traditional geometrical scaling becomes more challenging and expensive across all market segments (RF, logic, memory, power), companies are increasingly turning to engineered-materials solutions to drive the next leap in device performance.

“MST technology enables device designers to consider more aggressive architectures to drive higher performance and/or lower power, and I am excited about the opportunity to strengthen the portfolio further and help deliver profitable growth for the company,” said Thomas.

Shawn holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and did his PhD research on SiGe epitaxy for enhanced mobility transistors within the Electrical Engineering department at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Atomera is currently engaged with half of the world’s top semiconductor producers and has been actively involved in the fields of Advanced Logic (GAA), DRAM, power and wireless/RF, underscoring the industry’s growing recognition of MST’s potential benefits.
