ATLANT 3D, whose atomic-scale manufacturing know-how allows exact improvement of superior supplies and gadgets for optics, photonics, microelectronics, quantum computing, sensors, and house functions, at the moment introduced a $15 M Collection A+ funding spherical led by West Hill Capital.
West Hill Capital was additionally the lead investor in ATLANT 3D’s $15 M Collection A spherical in September 2022. “Our continued funding in ATLANT 3D throughout each the A and A+ rounds displays our deep confidence of their transformative know-how and their skill to redefine microfabrication,” says Alan Richards, Associate and Co-Founder, West Hill Capital. “The crew has an unwavering dedication to disruptive innovation and strategic execution, and we consider ATLANT 3D is uniquely positioned to seize important market alternatives within the semiconductor and superior manufacturing sectors.”
ATLANT 3D builds supplies and gadgets, atom by atom, by its direct atomic layer processing (DALP®) know-how, which locations exact quantities of supplies precisely the place wanted. The system creates advanced buildings for microelectronics, semiconductors, and superior gadgets in a single step. By changing conventional multi-step fabrication with direct atomic-scale manufacturing, this method eliminates course of complexity whereas lowering materials waste by 90%. Totally different analysis groups use DALP® know-how to create what was beforehand impractical or unattainable, from quantum computing elements to gadgets that can function in house.
Since ATLANT 3D’s collection A spherical, the corporate efficiently launched NANOFABRICATOR™ LITE as a product and a prototype of business multimodular NANOFABRICATOR™ FLOW. NANOFABRICATOR™ LITE is a flexible system that makes use of DALP® know-how to speed up supplies analysis, gadget R&D, and prototype improvement. The College of Vermont grew to become the primary establishment to accumulate the system, marking a big milestone. ATLANT 3D has since established partnerships with over 50 industrial and analysis organizations, together with main semiconductor producers like STMicroelectronics, Sony and several other different Fortune 500 firms.”
ATLANT 3D additionally grew their crew to greater than 35 members, bringing in expertise specializing in atomic layer deposition (ALD) and materials sciences; filed for a complete of 11 patents, with one granted within the U.S., Singapore, Japan, and South Korea; and expanded their validated supplies library to a possible 20 supplies. This permits for larger flexibility and innovation in growing new merchandise and functions throughout varied industries.
With the Collection A+ funding, ATLANT 3D plans to proceed specializing in know-how management and industrial product improvement, extending its world innovation community, broadening its utility portfolio and strategic partnerships, and increasing its gross sales and advertising and marketing groups and industrial progress.
“This funding marks the subsequent chapter for ATLANT 3D,” says Dr. Maksym Plakhotnyuk, Founder and CEO. “One in every of our key discoveries was that labs wanted a option to construct advanced gadgets with out the standard constraints of multi-step fabrication in addition to testing and adopting superior high-quality supplies. Our know-how lets analysis groups create and take a look at superior supplies and prototype gadgets in days as an alternative of months and put together them for scaling to manufacturing. With this funding, we’ll proceed growing instruments that make atomic-scale manufacturing accessible to any lab, accelerating the tempo of scientific discovery and industrial adoption. The demand we’re seeing from R&D, quantum computing, aerospace, automotive, communication, and semiconductor markets reveals we’re fixing a vital want and we’re actively searching for companions who need to velocity up their analysis cycles, develop beforehand unattainable gadgets, and construct the subsequent technology of good glasses, quantum computer systems, AI chips, and space-ready supplies and gadgets.”
