Space Forge has selected Texas A&M for US semiconductor manufacturing. Initial work will combine material growth, processing, and characterisation before the collaboration expands into further joint research.
ATLANT 3D has launched its NANOFABRICATOR PRO atomic manufacturing platform. The system connects computational materials discovery with fabrication, experimental validation, and device prototyping.
SEMIFIVE reports rapid growth as custom ASIC production volumes increase. First-half bookings, manufacturing orders, and advanced-node IP revenue point to a broader production pipeline.
MetaOptics is taking metalens prototyping equipment into Stanford’s nanofabrication ecosystem. Its Direct Laser Writer targets rapid 4-inch-wafer prototypes and small-volume pilot production.
Lightmatter coalition formalises open architecture work for co-packaged optics systems. The 19-company OCP initiative is moving towards shared specifications for large, multi-vendor AI compute clusters.
Quanta and Quantinuum bring manufacturing engineering into quantum hardware systems. Joint development targets modular infrastructure capable of supporting future commercially deployable fault-tolerant machines.
Racyics and Cloudberry connect chip design support with European funding. The partnership combines EuroCDP access, semiconductor design infrastructure, and private co-funding for fabless start-ups.
Movellus is bringing on-die power optimisation to Samsung advanced nodes. The Aeonic platform adds telemetry and nanosecond-scale control loops for AI and HPC SoCs through Samsung Foundry’s SAFE ecosystem.
