Search For The Next
Develops semiconductor fabrication processes and operates a device development facility in Burton-on-Trent.
Company overview
Search For The Next operates a semiconductor development facility at 107 Station Street in Burton-on-Trent. Its website describes a manufacturing platform that links device design, fabrication, testing and subsequent improvement in a human-supervised cycle. The company reports same-day semiconductor development capability, supported by low-temperature processing, atomic-scale process control, three-dimensional chemical printing and mask-free fabrication. The Centian Loop connects measured device results with proposed changes that people approve before manufacture. The business also invites fabrication partnerships, technology licensing and discussion of distributed manufacturing deployments. Its published technology programme includes switching and logic approaches intended to reduce device and system complexity. The facility is presented as a working development and demonstration site rather than a conventional high-volume production foundry.
