Nano OPS, INC.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Institute for Sustainable Manufacturing (ISM) at the University of Kentucky last week, where I had insightful discussions with the researchers. I am deeply grateful for the warm invitation and hospitality extended by Professor I.S. Jawahir, the James F. Hardymon Chair in Manufacturing Systems, and Dr. Fazleena Badurdeen, the Earl Parker Robinson Chair Professor in Mechanical Engineering and Director of Graduate Studies. I am also excited about the potential to collaborate on pioneering new technologies that advance the circular economy, particularly in additive manufacturing, electronics manufacturing, and green ICs.

As you’re reading this, the semiconductor industry is undergoing a paradigm shift. You see, there is a big problem holding us back at the moment: ↳ Traditional fabrication plants are 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲-𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲, Limiting the number of companies that can produce their chips. But what if you can make chips: - In one day - At 100 times less cost - 1000 times reduction in materials - 1000 times faster than 3D printing - With 25 times smaller carbon footprint - On one fully automated secure machine - 100 times faster than today’s fabrication - With no chemical reactions, or vacuum needed Then you can have on-demand chips in a few hours And eliminate 100s of process steps… “𝗔 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁” What makes this printer special? ↳ It uses a bottom-up approach that assembles nanoparticles In suspension to create the desired structure for the chip. This is the same approach that happens organically in nature. ↳ It also allows for easy circuit design and translation into electronic structures, Making it accessible for various substrates like silicon, polymer, or glass. With this method, we can replace huge fabrication plants with a printer. 𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆?
