Dear Mr. French:
On behalf of our client,
Atomera Incorporated, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), we are responding to the comment letter
issued by the staff of the Commission (the “Staff”) to Scott A. Bibaud, Chief Executive Officer
of the Company, dated July 21, 2016 on the above-referenced Registration Statement on Form S-1 (“Registration Statement”).
Concurrent with the filing of this letter, the Company is filing with the Commission an Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement
(“Amendment”).
The Amendment has been
prepared in response to Staff’s comment letter dated July 21, 2016, the text of which we have incorporated into this
response letter for convenience.
Staff Comment and Company Response:
Prospectus Cover Page
1. Please revise to indicate, if true, that your shares have only been approved for listing
on the Nasdaq Capital Market since your present disclosure is anticipatory in nature.
Response: The requested change
has been made to the cover page.
Risk Factors, page 6
2. We note your response to comment 2. Please respond to that portion of the comment which asked
you to tell us details about the test conditions and demonstrate how you used objective, empirical evidence to reach the conclusion
that group transistors using your technology “consistently demonstrated increased speed, reliability and energy efficiency.”
Please also revise your disclosure to indicate any limitations of the tests and whether the tests demonstrated potential disadvantages
of your technology, as appropriate.

Response: The Company has
conducted many tests and experiments internally, with customers and in partnership with academic institutions to develop, optimize
and demonstrate its MST technology. Theories are tested through mathematical modeling and physical measurement of processed semiconductor
wafers using industry standard practice and procedures. Because the Company does not own a semiconductor factory, wafers are processed
by the Company’s targeted customers, academic institutions and other third parties.
The testing referred to in the fourth
risk factor and elsewhere throughout the prospectus was conducted by third parties in collaboration with the Company. The most
relevant testing, and the tests upon which the Company bases its performance claims, were conducted by potential customers of the
Company, including IDMs, fabless semiconductor manufacturers and foundries. In each case, the test was part of the process qualification
stage, which is an initial stage in a customer’s consideration of its incorporation of the MST technology into their integrated
circuits or equipment. In each case, the test was designed and controlled by the potential customer and the Company provided assistance
in the application of the MST technology and the analysis of the test results. A typical test includes both “control”
wafers which are processed in the normal fashion and other wafers which are processed using the Company’s MST technology.
Measurements are taken by the potential customer using industry standard practices on both types of wafers. To date, the tests
conducted by the Company’s potential customers have consistently produced empirical data demonstrating increased performance.
Please refer to the studies submitted pursuant to Comment No. 3 for an example of the test conditions and empirical data involved
in a typical test.
With regard to your comment concerning
test limitations and potential disadvantages, please be advised that the tests to date have not demonstrated any potential disadvantages,
other than the customary time, expense and risks any manufacturer or designer encounters in incorporating a new technology or process
into its chip design or manufacturing process. Concerning test limitations, the Company does not believe that any of the tests
were conducted under limitations that were unreasonable or would suggest that the test results were subject to question or doubt.
However, we wish to confirm that each test was designed to measure performance metrics that were selected by the potential customer
based on the performance metrics of most importance to the customer and each customer did not choose to test for all performance
metrics, including speed, reliability, energy efficiency and miniaturization.
3. We also note that your website, at http://atomera.com/mst/, contains claims regarding your
technology such as “increased mobility and drive current” and “[g]ate leakage reduction of up to 50%,”
along with links to studies purporting to support those claims. Please tell us the relationship between the statements and studies
found on your website and your claims about performance in the prospectus. If appropriate, please provide us with copies of those
studies.

Response: We are submitting
to the staff under separate cover pursuant to Rule 418 under the Securities Act of 1933 the studies found on the Company’s
website. Please be advised that the Company considers the statements made on its website to be consistent with its performance
claims in the prospectus. We believe the staff’s comment focuses on the Company’s use of different terminology to express
the same concept. For example, “gate leakage reduction” is considered by the Company to be another way of saying “increased
energy efficiency” and “increased mobility and drive current” is another way of saying “increased speed
and reliability.” The Company’s website was designed primarily to serve as an introduction of the Company and its MST
technology to semiconductor industry participants and the language used on the website was chosen to conform to methods of expression
used in the industry. Finally, please be advised that the website statements concerning “gate leakage” and “drive
current” are supported by the last paragraph of the study captioned, “Silicon Superlattice on SOI for High Mobility
and Reduced Leakage.”

and revise to briefly describe the anticipated sources of additionally required capital, as appropriate.
