What it sells
Modernizing Chip Manufacturing Infrastructure
Business model breakdown
Buyer: who owns the budget?
UnverifiedSemiconductor fab process/yield engineering and facilities leaders.
Trigger: what makes them buy now?
Airborne molecular contamination at ppb levels between process steps causing yield loss; high UHP nitrogen purge cost.
Workflow: what inputs become what output?
Talos modular reactor chemically destroys contaminants at point of use in tools, storage and transit; CleanPipe sealed wafer transport planned.
Economics: what it saves and how it charges
Hardware; claims 7N purity in 16 minutes, 10-100x better than alternatives and eliminates UHP N2 purge opex.
Distribution: how it reaches customers
Pilot program engagements with fabs; scales only after measured results.
