fab2 provides an end‑to‑end platform for semiconductor manufacturing, designing and printing chips, masks, transistors, and the full suite of fab equipment such as pumps, valves, and chambers. The company builds its own hardware and software, including Studio—a modern, in‑browser collaborative EDA tool—to automate and accelerate the creation of custom fabs and the components they require.

Problem
Semiconductor manufacturers face long lead times and high costs because many essential fab components—such as pumps, valves, sensors, and nanometer‑precision actuators—are not commercially available or require custom integration. This limits the speed at which new chip designs can be prototyped and scaled.
Solution
Fab2 delivers a complete, end‑to‑end semiconductor manufacturing stack that includes both the software for chip design and the hardware for fab construction. Their in‑browser, collaborative EDA platform, Studio, accelerates design cycles by enabling real‑time, multi‑user editing of circuit layouts. Simultaneously, Fab2’s “fab fab” factory designs and manufactures custom fab components—including pumps, valves, heaters, gas lines, and nanometer‑precision actuators—and assembles them into turnkey fab modules. By integrating hardware and software under a unified automation framework, Fab2 reduces the time and expense required to build and operate new semiconductor fabs, allowing customers to iterate rapidly from design to silicon.
Target Audience
Primary customers are semiconductor companies and advanced chip designers that need fast, customizable fab infrastructure and integrated design tools to accelerate product development.
