SILICON VALLEY INCUBATOR
SILICON INCUBATOR'S WAFER FABRICATION FACILITY
is located in Silicon Valley and helps startup companies to design and manufacture standard and custom semiconductor and thin film components for automotive, bio-medical, wireless telecommunications, optoelectronics, computing, industrial, military, space and satellite applications.Silicon incubator wafer fabrication facility offers a place where startups can develop a mix of semiconductor technologies : silicon, silicon carbide, gallium nitride, gallium oxide, aluminum nitride and any other compound semiconductors. Silicon Incubator offers support to any startup whose product needs semiconductor technology development and the support of a wafer fabrication facility.
Once an innovative technology and product idea has been funded, the startup faces the dilemma of finding the right wafer fabrication partner. Cost of wafer fabrication facility is prohibitive and building one from scratch takes time that will impact time to market. Unless the product can be manufactured in a standard strictly digital process, trying to partner with any billion dollar pure play wafer fabrication facility is most of the time impossible and cost prohibitive. Once the new product development and preproduction phase are complete, the startup faces a new dilemma, that of finding a wafer foundry that will accept the transfer of the new technology and manufacture its products.
The fables business model has backfired not only in Silicon Valley or United States but throughout the world. There is an exponential explosion of new products and technologies ideas that need a place to materialize. There are few giants in the semiconductor industry that have own fabrication facilities and there are few giant pure play facilities, all at full capacity. The cost of semiconductor equipment and its maintenance is very high and keeps rising. The number of hands on semiconductor experts is getting smaller and cost of labor is getting higher.
Silicon Incubator offers startups an interim solution, tools, guidance and training so they can grow into a profitable business that can afford to build own specialized wafer fabrication facility.
For the future semiconductor industry to flourish again, the world needs to develop a GREEN-FABKIT, fully automated standard manufacturing equipment using off the shelf electronics and robotics equipment. The robotics industry itself can grow only if it is standardized.
The GREEN-FABKIT is a multiprocessing modular semiconductor wafer fabrication kit that allows quick installation, redundancy, self-diagnosis, easy de-installation, and relocation. The GREEN-FABKIT does not need expensive class one clean rooms that use huge amounts of energy just to circulate huge volumes of air and includes built in modules for instant connect facilities, point of use process gases generators and onsite mitigation of all hazardous chemicals as well as reclaiming of spent chemicals and water recycling. The GREEN-FABKIT provides green semiconductors manufacturing, is mobile and can use green energy supplied by hydrogen fuel cells and solar cells. GREEN-FABKIT can be transported to an orbit space station or on another planet.
