"We’re on a mission to enhance secure access to mission critical technologies of today and tomorrow." – SkyWater CEO @Thomas Sonderman
In this recent Forbes article, @Willy Shih explores SkyWater’s vision to expand as the Trusted U.S. foundry for rad-hard chips, which are critical for defense, space, and aerospace applications. With growing demand from satellites to UAVs, we’re scaling our capabilities to meet national security and commercial needs.
Today SkyWater CEO @Thomas Sonderman shared his thoughts in #Barron's and underscored the urgent need to invest in domestic production of legacy semiconductors. These chips are the foundation of mission-critical applications in defense, AI, and industrial automation—and China’s strategy to flood the market with mature-node semiconductors poses significant risks to U.S. economic resilience and national security.
Exciting day at SkyWater! We're proud to introduce ThermaView℠ Solutions, our new platform designed to empower domestic innovation in advanced thermal imaging systems. The initial ThermaView Solutions offering is our recently qualified 90nm CMOS process, S90LN, which is a ROIC-centric technology that provides industry-leading low noise performance with PDK-enabled support for large format die.
“We recognize the importance of supporting our warfighters and the wider industrial focal plane array community,” said @Ross Miller, SVP of Commercial and A&D business. “With ThermaView, we’re demonstrating our commitment to meet the particular needs of ROICs today, while anticipating the needs of this market tomorrow. Our solutions come with a reliable supply chain that ensures long-term availability, empowering our partners to confidently develop the next generation of thermal imaging systems.”
Commenting on the announcement, Pat Richardson, engineering director at Raytheon Vision Systems (RVS), an RTX business and SkyWater customer, said, “SkyWater has been working to mature its process to meet our challenging requirements. Their dedication to pioneering innovative solutions underscores their focus on meeting industry demands and ensuring reliability in our systems.”
