Creating the worlds-first
Oxide Discovery Laboratories
Dr Atanackovic received the B. Sc. (Hons) and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Adelaide, Australia. His Ph.D. work dealt with the growth and fabrication of novel II-VI quantum devices., He was a senior research scientist with the Defence Science and Technology Organisation, Australia from 1997 to 2001, working on analog-to-digital conversion using photonic over-sampling techniques and novel optoelectronic III-V quantum devices. From 1999 to 2001, he was invited as a postdoctoral scholar at Ginzton Laboratories, Stanford University, CA. Working with Prof. D.A.B Miller and Prof. James Harris groups. His work at Stanford dealt with the growth of novel GasAs- and InP-based quantum devices using molecular beam epitaxy.
PETAR ATANACKOVIC PhD
Founder / CEO Transcluent
California 2001-2008
A successful semiconductor company (2001-2009) located in Silicon Valley, Palo Alto, California. Translucent invented Rare-earth Oxide semiconductors compatible with Silicon CMOS. Petar developed relationships with Intel, IBM and was a successful recipient of a US Dept. of Defence DARPA technology investment for the Electronic & Photonic Integrated Circuits (EPIC) programme. Translucent was acquired in 2017 by IQE (http://www.iqep.com/markets/cmos/creo/).
Chief Scientist Silanna
2009-2025
Silanna partnering with VEECO to develop the worlds-first triple chamber AMBE cluster system enabled rapid oxide discovery. A newly formed QuFAB targeting pilot production of device manufacture has also been a partnership between Silanna, University-of-Adelaide and the Australian Department of Defence.
“These advanced Oxide materials are being created using custom engineered state-of-the-art Atomic-and-Molecular-Beam-Epitaxy (AMBE) tools.”
