Odyssey Semiconductor has been recognized by Semiconductor Review Magazine as “Top 10 Semiconductor Manufacturing Solutions Companies - 2023” based on our proprietary methodology, reflecting its position in the industry. This profile has been developed by the Semiconductor Review research and editorial team based on insights from an interview with Chris Martin, Director of Foundry Services.
Odyssey Semiconductor
A Foundry Partner That Turns Ideas into Reality
Chris Martin, Director of Foundry Services“We strive to offer a world-class semiconductor device development and foundry service to empower the world’s most innovative minds. We want to spark the revolution of tomorrow’s technological marvels,” says Mark Davidson, CEO of Odyssey Semiconductor.
Traditional semiconductor foundries require significant investments and have long wait times, making them inflexible and challenging to work with. While universities are an option, they provide limited access to equipment and materials for bringing new semiconductor products to market. Odyssey semiconductor offers a fast and flexible approach to new product development by collaborating with innovators, startups, established companies, and universities.
Odyssey Semiconductor provides a sandbox environment for experimenting with ideas, combining expertise with a wide range of manufacturing processes. It offers to fabricate partial wafers and single wafers to quickly start projects. Rapid turnaround and revisions give designers valuable insights into the manufacturability of their designs. Once the designs are ready for volume production, it helps scale them to larger foundries, acting as a steppingstone for innovators to enter into significant markets.
“Our strong point lies in our flexibility to work with a wide range of materials and both established and experimental processes.
We provide a great deal of material science and engineering expertise to optimize design for device performance,” adds Chris Martin, director of foundry services of Odyssey Semiconductor.
Odyssey Semiconductor’s capabilities were validated when it partnered with an established customer who needed additional resources for semiconductor device manufacturing and aimed to build a novel device. Odyssey conducted thorough research on the current state of the art in existing publications and within its own best practices to develop a preliminary design with various parameterized variations. The Odyssey led team completed the first revision of procedures, tested the devices, and planned a second revision incorporating improvements, resulting in working transistors. The final parts were sent for packaging to complete the last steps of building the devices. Odyssey Semiconductor’s partnership resulted in the successful development of this novel device.
Odyssey Semiconductor’s on-site equipment and expertise allow quicker iteration and revision cycles, reducing the time to bring a product to market. Its focus on innovation adheres to the goals of the CHIPS and Science Act, making its foundry services a key factor in US-driven innovation in this field.
Onboarding typically begins with a technical consultation to determine the best path forward for successful completion as efficiently as possible. Odyssey Semiconductor prides itself on its speed to completion with a wide range of substrate options, including size, composition, and material compatibility. It can handle various materials like germanium, gallium nitride, silicon carbide, indium phosphide, and gallium arsenide to meet the demands of optics detectors and transmitters; organic and micro-LEDs; and other breakthrough products made with compound semiconductor materials.
This flexibility is made possible by its skilled and experienced professionals who can find creative solutions to complex problems by combining their experience, the latest literature, and a customer’s perspective. Odyssey Semiconductor’s culture values an open and adaptable process for problem-solving, enabling it to validate solutions quickly through experimentation rather than relying on full wafer runs. These factors uniquely position Odyssey Semiconductor in its industry.

However, if you would like to share the information in this article, you may use the link below:
The Asset Sale was approved by about 99% of the votes cast at the Special Meeting. Odyssey plans to file the results of the Special Meeting, as tabulated by an independent inspector of elections, on a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") later today.
Power Integration (Nasdaq:POWI) is a California-based developer and producer of high-voltage integrated circuits for energy-efficient power conversion.
Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement and the agreement between the parties, the Company, assisted by an investment bank, conducted a search for alternative acquisition proposals pursuant to certain go-shop provisions during a 20-day period (the "Go-Shop Period") ending on April 1, 2024. Upon the conclusion of the Go-Shop Period and the commencement of mailing of a certain proxy statement prepared and mailed by Odyssey on or about May 7, 2024, the transaction was also announced in a press release by Power Integration on May 7, 2024.
Subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, the transaction is expected to close in early July. After closing, Odyssey shall notify OTC Market Group of its intent to withdraw from being quoted on the over-the-counter market, cease operations and move forward with the plan to dissolve the Company including the payment of a liquidating distribution to common shareholders to the extent funds are available.
