Design. Assemble. Scale.

Reproducible 2D
devices at scale.

Smart, autonomous assembly for next-generation electronics, photonics & quantum devices.

An instrument that finds the crystals, builds the stack, and records every build.

02 / The problem

The science is ready.
Manufacturing is not.

Atomically thin materials open new possibilities for electronics, photonics and quantum technologies. Building the devices is the major bottleneck.

01

Finding the right micron-scale crystal takes too much time.

02

Every layer demands precision. Position, twist, and quality must be controlled throughout every step of the build. Experts still fail to successfully achieve this.

03

Results and performance depend on pristine interfaces and reproducibility. Low yield rates and inconsistent build lead to too many one-of-a-kind “hero” devices.

03 / The solution

One connected workflow.

Replace artisan assembly with an instrument that connects crystal selection, device design, robotic assembly, and optical metrology-based quality assurance.

  1. 01

    Scan and classify crystals

    Find candidate flakes and record their morphology and metadata.

  2. 02

    Design the stack

    Select the layers and define their relative position and twist.

  3. 03

    Robotic pick-and-place

    Assemble under closed-loop machine-vision control.

  4. 04

    Metrology and a build record

    Link optical quality assurance to the completed build.

04 / From flakes to wafers

One platform.
Three scales of manufacturing.

The same core technology at every scale: machine-vision alignment, in situ metrology, and a build record for every device.

01 / Flake scale

Research instruments

Complex heterostructure devices for research labs.

02 / Device scale

High-value devices

Reproducible device fabrication and integration.

03 / Wafer scale

Industrial integration

Development for pilot lines and foundries.
