CubeFabs

CubeFabs are AI-operated, modular, prefabricated semiconductor fabs. These fabs are designed to be cost and time efficient to build, and reconfigurable for different materials and manufacturing processes. CubeFabs use proprietary AI process control to scale difficult to manufacture and defect prone materials like Gallium Oxide, unlocking major efficiency gains over silicon for data centers and EV infrastructure. Pre-fab architecture sets a new standard for factory build times and allows site owners to expand capacity with additional fabs. CubeFabs can monitor production and self-improve in real time. Our patented AI platform, nControl™, automates, monitors, and corrects highly complex manufacturing processes in real-time. Each deployment follows local guidelines and regulations. Because the materials being produced are efficient, few resources are needed and very little waste is produced. Designing a semiconductor fabrication facility with easy access to local greenery is healthy for the engineers and the ecosystem.
