About

Inversion Semiconductor is developing the next-generation chip fabrication machine to create the most powerful chips 15x faster. Our vision is to reshore advanced chip fabrication capabilities in the West.

Were building a lithography machine. Lithography uses light to pattern circuit features on silicon. Were scaling transistors to their physical limits by shrinking particle accelerators 1000x to create a high power light source.

Using our light source we will double transistor density for a given numerical aperture and 3x throughput.
