What Cambridge Microelectronics does

Cambridge Microelectronics Ltd, trading as Camutronics, is a fabless semiconductor design services firm founded in 2012 as a spin-out from the University of Cambridge by five alumni, including Prof. Florin Udrea (CTO) and Dr. Tanya Trajkovic (CEO). The company specialises in power semiconductor device design and development across silicon, wide bandgap materials (silicon carbide, gallium nitride), and ultra-wide bandgap materials (diamond, gallium oxide), covering voltage classes from 5V to over 20kV. Its service portfolio spans four integrated offerings: TCAD device and process simulation, full custom layout design, multiphysics package simulation, and comprehensive device testing at wafer and package level.

The firm operates on a professional services model, engaging enterprise clients on bespoke power device design, product development, and IP creation projects from concept through high-volume production. It serves multinational companies across consumer electronics, lighting, traction, medical, industrial, and automotive verticals, with disclosed work for over 50 multinationals and prior engagements tied to products that have shipped in volumes reaching five million units per month. Go-to-market is direct enterprise engagement with no disclosed marketing or channel infrastructure.

Cambridge Microelectronics monetises through project-based fees for design, simulation, and testing services rather than product sales. The company holds no external institutional investment and remains privately held by its founding team, with a headcount of 1-10 employees. Its competitive position is anchored on founder reputation and intellectual property rather than scale, with the team collectively credited with pioneering work on Superjunction and trench IGBT architectures and holding more than 200 granted patents.

Core offering

Cambridge Microelectronics (Camutronics) is a fabless semiconductor company providing power device design, product development, and IP creation services. It delivers an integrated portfolio spanning advanced TCAD device and process simulations, custom device layouts, package design support, and comprehensive wafer-level and packaged device testing. Expertise covers silicon, wide bandgap (SiC, GaN), and ultra-wide bandgap (Diamond, Ga2O3) technologies for vertical and lateral devices from 5V to over 20kV.

Product overview

Cambridge Microelectronics (Camutronics) is a fabless semiconductor company providing integrated power device design and characterisation services. The company offers a portfolio of four core service offerings: TCAD Simulation Services (2D and 3D device and process simulations), Custom Layout Design Services (for IGBTs, MOSFETs, diodes, HEMTs, Superjunctions, and RC IGBTs), Multiphysics Simulation Services (thermal, electrical, electromagnetic package simulations), and Power Device Testing Services (wafer-level and packaged device testing). These services are designed to work together as a fully integrated development approach, covering the entire power semiconductor development cycle from initial simulation through layout design, package optimisation, and comprehensive testing to accelerate development, optimise performance, and ensure high-yield, reliable products.
