About

Cenfire is a fabless semiconductor company commercializing a fundamentally differentiated MEMS relay technology that overcomes the reliability and scalability barriers that have limited MEMS switching for decades. The company is a spinout of the Atomica MEMS foundry, benefiting from more than 15 years of R&D and deep process expertise—an undue advantage relative to other MEMS startups that lack direct foundry lineage. By using silicon—not metal—as the moving element in its switch architecture, Cenfire eliminates metal fatigue, enabling electromechanical-class reliability with MEMS-level advantages in size, power, speed, and integration. This design choice creates a wide and durable technical moat.
