The last mile of signal integrity has a physics problem. Stefan Pastine breaks down why today's dielectric materials are costing data centers 35 kilowatts per rack and $200K in extra silicon, and what Thintronics is doing about it.

Signed a Letter of Intent with the Dept of Commerce for up to $50M under the CHIPS Act 🇺🇸
The money matters but it also confirms our tech is solid, and the substrate bottleneck we're solving is one the industry and the federal government, recognizes as one that really matters.
Thintronics' Stefan Pastine published an oped in @cenmag on the role chemistry and materials science has to play in reducing AI's outsized energy appetite which is showing up on household bills and in utility commission elections.

Great to see Tristan El Bouayadi, Thintronics CTO, at xitter.cf/IMAPSorg outlining how materials breakthroughs are fundamental to advances in packaging and next generation semiconductors.

Semiconductor packaging used to be unsexy, not to mentioned dumb, but now it’s as innovative as the chips they house.
Today’s scarcity in chips and memory will be addressed by tomorrow’s advancecd packaging techniques.
I had the privilege of meeting with leaders in packaging from large and small companies across the semi landscape at the 2025 International Microelectronics Assembly and Packaging Society (@IMAPSorg ) conference.
We discussed co-packaged optics to to low-k dielectrics to hybrid bonding to through-silicon vias to heterogeneous integration of silicon and 3-5s.
As transistors shrink to a few atoms, its packaging and interconnect that’s going to keep us marching forward on Moore’s law:

At Thintronics we've been heads down on R&D but as we move towards commercialisation people are starting to talk about us. First up, an insightful piece in MIT Technology Review about the difference we are making.
