About Rogue Valley Microdevices
A U.S.-based MEMS foundry built by engineers who still run the company they founded in 2003.
Rogue Valley Microdevices is a U.S.-based, ITAR-registered microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and thin-film foundry, founded in 2003 and headquartered in Medford, Oregon. We take devices from first prototype through pilot and mid-volume production, and a second fab under construction in Palm Bay, Florida will add 200mm and 300mm capacity as it comes online.
Everything we offer runs on one production line: MEMS foundry services, wafer services with more than 50 unique dielectric and conductive thin films, MEMS design services, and an inventory of ready-to-ship silicon wafers. All services are performed in-house in our Class 100 cleanroom.
A U.S.-Based MEMS Foundry, Founder-Led Since 2003
When Jessica Gomez and Patrick Kayatta decided to start a MEMS foundry, they let nothing stand in their way. Though miles from Silicon Valley and other microelectronics hotspots, they bootstrapped their way past the high cost of tools and recruited talent to join them in Southern Oregon. Their vision to create an advanced manufacturing company serving the MEMS industry, still up-and-coming in 2003, transformed an idea into reality. Since then, they have helped innovators around the world realize their ideas in silicon.
More than two decades later, both founders still lead the company, Jessica as Chief Executive Officer and Pat as Chief Technology Officer. Customers feel that continuity directly. The people who set our process strategy are reachable, and the engineering judgment behind your wafers has been accumulating in one building since 2003.

What We Believe
Our engineering, business-development, and quality teams work directly with yours, with transparency into every process decision.
Two American fabs, one in production since 2003 and one under construction, supporting supply-chain resilience for critical devices.
The same line that develops your process carries it into manufacturing, so you never change partners mid-stream.
You keep full ownership of your designs, masks, and data. That holds whether we fabricate the device or hand the design to the foundry you choose.
We work with academia, startups, and established manufacturers across biomedical, industrial sensing, aerospace and defense, and photonics markets. Wherever you are on that curve, you work directly with the engineers running your wafers.
Two U.S. Fabs
One in production since 2003, one rising on Florida’s Space Coast.
Medford, Oregon
In production since 2003Our headquarters and production home. The Medford fab runs 50mm to 200mm wafers in a Class 100 cleanroom, with every wafer service performed in-house on the same line as our MEMS production. Curious about the area? See living in Southern Oregon.
Palm Bay, Florida
Under constructionOur second fab, on Florida’s Space Coast in the heart of the country’s aerospace corridor. As it comes online, Palm Bay adds 200mm and 300mm capacity and expands our capability roadmap for the programs that need it. See living on Florida’s Space Coast.
We are growing at both sites, and we are hiring. If you want to help build the devices behind the next generation of smart products, see our open positions.
