Shocking Technologies moves into a
new manufacturing and development facility in
San Jose.
SAN JOSE, Calif. –
August, 13, 2008 – Shocking Technologies, Inc.
announced today that they are moving to their
new location at 5870 Hellyer Ave, San Jose,
CA. The new facility, which is 51,000
square ft, will house Shocking’s nanotechnology
research and development labs as well as
company’s manufacturing for its XStatic™ voltage
switchable dielectric material; which when
properly designed into a PCB or Semiconductor
package XStatic™ can protect electronic products
up to 30KV from electrostatic discharge.
The company has now successfully demonstrated
the technology in cell phones, memory devices,
and semiconductor packages.
“We are very
excited to be moving into our new home in San
Jose. The customer response to our
material has been exceptional and with the key
markets we address being very large it is time
to bring our larger scale manufacturing
online. While we will continue to house
some of our development at our partner
Sanmina-SCI, who helped us incubate the
technology, it is important we make the next
step and put in large scale manufacturing for
our materials to insure our customers adequate
supply as we grow,” said Lex Kosowsky, President
& CEO.
The new facility will house a
state of the art analytical lab, our
nanotechnology development lab, large scale
XStatic™ polymer manufacturing, as well as space
for further application development of our
VSDM. The plant will also house the
company’s sales and administrative
offices.
About Shocking
Technologies, Inc.
Shocking
Technologies, Inc. is a privately held,
venture-backed company developing “Voltage
Switchable Dielectric™ (VSD™) materials. A
VSD™ material is a polymer nano-composite that
behaves like an insulator (dielectric) during
normal circuit operation and becomes conductive
when the voltage across the VSD™ material
increases beyond a predefined threshold
voltage. After the voltage drops below the
threshold again, it switches back to an
insulator. This unique property, coupled with
the ability to tailor the response of the
material, opens up several new areas in
electronics. The first application being
introduced enables embedded electrostatic
discharge (ESD) protection in printed circuit
boards (PCBs) and semiconductor packages.
Subsequent applications will usher in new
manufacturing processes as well as novel product
designs. More information regarding the
