PSP high tech chip firm is market leader

The ever-growing demand for advanced technology is enhancing the reputation of Devon based Moortec as a world leader in the nanotechnology industry.

Moortec provides monitors and sensors found within today’s cutting-edge silicon chips, helping to increase their reliability and performance.

The company, sited at Plymouth Science Park, produces designs which can be found in a number of consumer applications including mobile phones, tablets, laptops and digital TVs.

Moortec’s sensors are designed for technology which have features that are measured in tens of nanometres, a nanometre is one-billionth of a metre. To put this into perspective, a human hair is between 80,000 to 100,000 nanometres wide.

Monitoring the conditions within microchips has become essential in the modern digital industry. The main challenges are performance (for power or speed) and the reliability of the device. Moortec's products address these challenges, which are faced by many different industries across the globe.

Moortec has made huge advances in the semiconductor industry - thanks to it’s highly skilled team of Plymouth based designers, technicians and engineers. Working with the latest technology they have identified a niche in the market and continue to push the limits of design and innovation.
