Chiral announced USD 12 million in seed financing led by Crane Venture Partners, with Quantonation, HCVC and Founderful participating, alongside public funding from Innosuisse. The ETH Zurich and Empa spin-off is developing equipment to integrate nanomaterials into semiconductor devices at wafer scale.
Its robotic system combines precision positioning, automation and process control to place materials such as carbon nanotubes onto silicon wafers. The funding will support improvements in throughput and reliability as Chiral installs its first commercial systems at customer sites.
