Problem
Many organizations require custom integrated circuits (ICs) but face challenges in accessing specialized fabrication processes and ensuring a secure, domestic supply chain. Traditional semiconductor foundries may lack the flexibility to accommodate unique design requirements or offer the level of trust needed for sensitive applications.
Solution
SkyWater Technology provides specialized semiconductor manufacturing services, enabling organizations to develop custom ICs with unique performance characteristics. The company's Technology as a Service (TaaS) model streamlines the concept-to-production journey, offering development services, volume manufacturing, and heterogeneous integration solutions. SkyWater operates DMEA-accredited Trusted fabs, ensuring a secure and reliable domestic supply chain for aerospace, defense, biomedical, and industrial applications. By combining standard CMOS platforms with customer-driven devices, SkyWater facilitates the creation of highly customized integrated sensors, photonics, MEMS, and other advanced features.
Target Audience
SkyWater Technology serves fabless companies, IDMs (Integrated Device Manufacturers), and OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) across diverse markets, including aerospace and defense, automotive, biomedical, and industrial sectors, requiring custom semiconductor solutions and secure domestic manufacturing.
