Symmorphix, Inc. was a materials-science company founded in 1998 and based in Sunnyvale, California, that developed and manufactured advanced amorphous dielectric and optical thin films for the optical-networking and communications industries. Its core technology was a proprietary wide-area physical vapor deposition (PVD) process performed at low temperatures, enabling deposition of a broad range of material compositions onto metal, ceramic, and polymer substrates for use as physical barriers, dielectric layers, and optical layers. The company was venture-backed by Battery Ventures and Crescendo Ventures and was acquired by Springworks on February 6, 2004. It is a defunct hardware/materials company with no public API, developer portal, or software developer surface, and is retained in the API Evangelist network only as a historical portfolio-lead record.
