SINMAT, INC.
GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA

Since 1963, the R&D 100 Awards program has identified revolutionary technologies newly introduced to the market. Widely recognized as the “Oscars of Invention,” the R&D 100 Awards identify and celebrate the top technology products of the year. Past winners have included sophisticated testing equipment, innovative new materials, chemistry breakthroughs, biomedical products, consumer items, and high-energy physics spanning industry, academia, and government-sponsored research. Sinmat is recognized as the leader in development of novel processes that enable chip and other manufacturers to develop more efficient devices and related products. It is singularly focused on providing its customers with customized planarization technologies that are critical in the manufacturing of computer chips, LEDs and power devices. Sinmat's planarization technologies also enable manufacturing of advanced substrate materials, used in military and other critical sectors of the economy. The company's planarization technologies are based on several proprietary chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) processes. Used widely in semiconductor advanced materials, Sinmat's CMP technology are enabled by its unique polishing slurries – an unique mix of nanoparticles and chemicals that smooth out rough topography and create defect free surfaces in a rapid reliable and cost effective manner – part of a rapidly growing $20B market. Sinmat works interactively with customers to develop CMP processes customized for their applications. Employing a very robust R&D portfolio, Sinmat is pioneering the future of several new products based on novel CMP technologies. Sinmat is developing new ways to manufacture microchips that can help power smarter energy systems, from more fuel-efficient hybrid cars to more responsive, efficient lighting for homes and businesses.

Sinmat assists enterprise and small business customers create flawless surfaces by providing proprietary innovative chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) technologies. These CMP processes are based on synergistic combination of chemicals and nanoparticles to smooth out rough surfaces and topographies, thereby creating flawless surfaces in a rapid reliable and cost effective manner. Such polishing technologies – representing a $20B growing industry- play a critical role in several advanced materials manufacturing areas such as clean energy electronics, semiconductor manufacturing and consumer electronics and advanced defense optical and electronic systems -. Sinmat’s unique R&D ability to create customized polishing process provides significant value addition- to its customers in several ways- enabling low cost scalable manufacturing, achieving higher yields and integrating new materials and performance to existing systems. Some of the markets which posit by Sinmat’s technologies are the following. Advanced materials such as gallium nitride and silicon carbide enable new energy efficient devices such as LED based lighting of homes, electronics to power hybrid and electric vehicles, efficient power electronics for wind and solar energy conversion and all energy consuming industrial and residential systems. Sinmat’s polishing technologies helps semiconductor chip and wafer manufacturers improve performance and yield of such devices. CMP technologies are widely used in manufacture of computer chips and manufacturing of smart phones and emerging wearable electronics. Sinmat’s polishing technologies for metals, dielectrics and other materials – e.g. glass and sapphire help achieve higher performance and better yields in manufacturing. Such systems require innovative surface processing of advanced materials such as sapphire, silicon carbide, diamond, phosphides etc. Sinmat’s expertise in creating flawless surfaces will enable higher performance next generation electronic and optical devices and systems. New emerging materials ranging from superhard (e.g. diamond, nitrides, carbides, oxides) to ultrasoft (antimonides, tellurides, copper etc.), require innovative processing and finishing techniques. Sinmat possesses unique ability to develop novel polishing and the ability to scale them for low cost manufacturing. Sinmat Awarded 2017 Manufacturing Company of the Year Sinmat Wins 2017 Manufacturing Company of the Year! The Gainesville Area Chamber of Commerce and presenting sponsor SunTrust Bank last week announced the 2017 Business Awards winners. The Chamber annually honors businesses for their role in helping our region advance toward a vision of Greater Gainesville as a global hub of talent, innovation, and opportunity. To be considered for a Business Award, the organization must standout for excellence and innovation within business practices and community involvement. "I am honored to have the opportunity to recognize the 2017 Businesses of the Year," said Chamber President/CEO Susan Davenport. "This year's recipients are among Greater Gainesville's premier businesses, and have demonstrated their commitment to excellence, innovation and community stewardship." With 1,300 members, more than 50 nominees, and only nine awards, competition for this year's Business Awards was highly competitive. Each application was reviewed three times by a panel of judges composed of fellow members of the Chamber. Judges critiqued applicants in six areas of assessment ranging from strength of business plan to level of community involvement.
