Our Core Advantage

Silicon Carbide: Built for Where Others Fail

Most MEMS foundries work exclusively with standard silicon, limited to 150°C. Our silicon carbide fabrication capability enables sensors and devices that operate continuously at 800°C+, survive radiation, and function inside jet engines, oil wells, nuclear reactors, and space.

With 3x the bandgap and 2x the structural durability of silicon, SiC is the material of choice for the harshest environments on Earth and beyond. Very few foundries worldwide offer this capability.

Our Story

Two Decades of MEMS Innovation

Our founder commercialized NASA Glenn Research Center’s Stereo Imaging Velocimetry — the world’s first 3D full-field flow velocity analysis tool. That same commitment to precision engineering drives Biotronics today.

Founded in 2002 with a NASA technology transfer pedigree and a Congressional Commercialization Award, Biotronics has delivered precision MEMS fabrication for the most demanding applications on earth — and beyond.
