Company profile

Cambridge Microelectronics

Cambridge University spin-out designing power semiconductor devices across silicon, silicon carbide, gallium nitride and other wide-bandgap materials, with simulation, layout, packaging and test services. Trades as Camutronics.

Company overview

Power device design, product development and intellectual property creation form the focus of Cambridge Microelectronics Ltd, which trades as Camutronics. The company describes itself as a Cambridge University spin-out and a fabless semiconductor business. Its work covers silicon, wide bandgap and ultra-wide bandgap technologies, including silicon carbide, gallium nitride, diamond and gallium oxide. It develops new devices for clients and modifies existing technologies, with expertise in vertical and lateral structures spanning voltage classes from 5 V to above 20 kV. Device types include IGBTs, MOSFETs, diodes and HEMTs, alongside power ICs and gate drivers. Services include device and process TCAD simulation, custom device layouts, package design support, and electrical testing at wafer and package levels. Its stated development scope extends from research and development to preparation for high-volume production.
