Published purpose

Metasurfaces, with their compact size and broadband performance, are poised to revolutionize optics industries, however, the lack of accessible fabrication services hinders their widespread adoption. We plan to bridge this gap by adding a dedicated metasurfaces option to our NanoSOI™ foundry, which is utilized by leading companies in quantum computing (QC), artificial intelligence (AI), LIDAR, and sensing. Adding dedicated metasurface and metalens fabrication capacity to our existing foundry will position our company for the future growth that is expected to occur in the field of advanced materials and optics for applications in electronics devices, high-speed computing, AI, and advanced imaging.
