Riaan Isiqalo esisekelwe eSwitzerland esigxile ekunqandeni ukungcoliswa kwezinhlayiyana ekwenziweni kwe-semiconductor senyuse amaRandi ayizigidi eziyi-14 ekuxhasweni kwembewu ngengalo yenhlokodolobha ye-Intel ehola umjikelezo.
Ama-Unisers ithuthukisa ubuchwepheshe obukwazi ukuhlonza imithombo yokungcola ebanga amaphutha ezintweni ze-semiconductor ngesikhathi sokukhiqiza, okungaholela ekutheni ama-chips noma amawafa wonke wonakaliswe. Uxhaso kulindeleke ukuthi lwenza inkampani ikwazi ukuletha izinhlelo zokuqala kumakhasimende emboni ye-semiconductor.
Ngokusho kwama-Unisers, ithuthukisa amasu okuhlaziya e-wafer akwazi ukuhlonza umthombo wanoma yikuphi ukungcola okubangela iphutha, okusiza abaqhubi bemishini yokukhiqiza ukuthi bathathe izinyathelo zokuyiqeda ngesikhathi esifushane ngangokunokwenzeka.
Ukungcoliswa kwezinhlayiya ngesikhathi sokukhiqizwa kwe-semiconductor kungaholela ekulahlekelweni kwezigidigidi zamaRandi, ngokusho kwe-Intel Capital, ngakho-ke noma iyiphi indlela ethembekile yokulwa nalokhu izozikhokhela yona ngokushesha. Izindlela ezikhona zokuthola umthombo walokhu kungcola ziyabiza futhi zidla isikhathi.
Ubuchwepheshe bokuqapha izinhlayiyana obuthuthukiswe yi-Unisers busebenzisa ukusabalalisa kwe-Raman okuthuthukisiwe ukuze kuhlonzwe umthombo wokungcola, okuyenza ikwazi ukubona ubukhulu, ukugxilisa ingqondo nokwakheka kwezinhlayiya ngokuzwela okukhulu kunalokho okwakungenzeka ngaphambili, sitshelwa.
“Ama-Unisers anciphisa kakhulu isikhathi esisithathayo ukuthola umthombo wokungcola ngokuthola izinhlayiya ebezingabonakali ngaphambili, avule amathuba amasha okulondoloza ukutholakala kwama-chip ngokusebenzisa amakhono angcono okuhlonza ukungcola,” kusho umqondisi we-Intel Capital nenhloko ye-Investment Operations uJennifer Ard.
Kanye ne-Intel, ngokuqondakalayo enentshisekelo empumelelweni yobuchwepheshe, umzuliswano woxhaso lwembewu wabona iqhaza elivela kwa-M Ventures, RSBG Ventures kanye ne-Swisscom Ventures.
“Okusha [process] ama-node azodinga amathuluzi ukuze abonise izinhlayiya ezikhulayo, hhayi nje kundwangu ye-semiconductor, kodwa kulo lonke uchungechunge lokuhlinzeka, okuhlanganisa nawo wonke amakhemikhali asebenzayo asebenza ekukhiqizeni ama-chip, “kusho umphathi we-M Ventures u-Owen Lozman.
Ngalesi sizathu, abakwa-Unisers bathi ubuchwepheshe bayo buzokwazi ukuthola umthombo wenkinga, noma ngabe lokho kusendwangu noma kumnikezeli wempahla ngomunye wabathengisi be-fab.
I-Kioxia kanye ne-WD babedume ngokukhiqiza ezindaweni zabo ezihlangene zokwenziwa kwe-3D NAND e-Japan okuphazanyiswe ukungcoliswa kwamakhemikhali, kwalahleka okungenani umthamo wama-exabytes angu-6.5, ngoFebhuwari. ngonyaka odlule.
Ikhemikhali engcolile kanye nomphakeli wayo akuzange kukhonjwe esidlangalaleni.
Isikhulu esiphezulu kanye nomsunguli u-Ali Altun uthe abakwa-Unisers bajabule ngokuvala lo mzuliswano woxhaso, futhi bakholelwa ukuthi ubuchwepheshe buzoba yisixazululo okufanele sibe nesixazululo sokulawula ukungcoliswa ochungechungeni lokuhlinzekwa kwemikhiqizo ye-semiconductor.
Ukulethwa kwemikhiqizo yezentengiso kumakhasimende e-semiconductor kulindeleke esikhathini esithile phakathi no-2023. ®
