Schweden wollen mit Ätz-Spalttechnik Chipproduktion in Sachsen umkrempeln
„In Schweden haben wir keine 300-Millimeter-Infrastruktur“, erklärt „Alix Labs“-Chef Jonas Sundqvist die Kooperation mit den Sachsen. „Unsere Technologie kann in bestehende Prozessabläufe der Halbleiterherstellung integriert werden. Theoretisch könnten Chipfabriken wie die Globalfoundries-Fab 1 in Dresden unsere Methode einführen und dann 10- oder 7-Nanometer-Chips herstellen ohne teure EUV-Anlagen.“ Als Kunden sieht er aber auch Branchenriesen wie Intel, TSMC und Samsung.

AlixLabs AB launched ALE Pitch Splitting (APS) for the first time at ALD & ALE Ireland 2016
We did not want to steal the thunder from our good Irish friends and St. Patrick Day we wish you all a healthy recovery today and breakfast for Champions. Yesterday we remembered our trip to Dublin and launching our proprietary technology, APS - ALE Pitch Splitting, for the first time to a bigger audience. Since then a lot of things has happened at AlixLabs AB in Lund, Sweden:
- We received soft funding and invest support to found the company by LU Holding (LINK) - AlixLabs AB in Lund, Sweden operating out of IDEON Science park (LINK) and Lund Nano lab at Lund University
- We received SwedishVinnova grant for "Innovative startups" 93 startup-bolag får dela på 28 miljoner | Vinnova
- We hired our first Full-time employee Dr. Mohammad Karim, Principal Scientist (LINK)
- We signed an agreement to use the lab facilities of Sweden’s largest research environment for nanoscience and nanotechnology - Lund Nano Lab (LINK)
- We applied for an Additional 2.7 MSEK EU and National Swedish Soft co-funding in early 2021 and have additional 3 projects in the pipeline.
- We have started our 1st Investment round to close before Swedish Midsummer - please get in touch if you want a meeting! (jonas@alixlabs.com or LinkedIn: LINK)

Atomic Layer Etching for Nano Device Fabrication at AlixLabs
We provide an ALE-based method of manufacturing nanostructures with a characteristic size below 20 nm.
This is a new method of nanostructure fabrication using the atomic layer etching process, which is inherently a damage-free etch process. The recently discovered etching process selectivity to inclined surfaces, allows to use walls of tapered structures as a mask. The inclined surfaces can be readily fabricated by e.g. dry etching or epitaxial growth, and will provide masking during the atomic layer etching process.
The key Tool for ALE development - An Inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE) system Apex
SLR from Advanced Vacuum Systems AB. The system is designed for
controlled nanoscale etching of Si, SiO2, Si3N4,
W, Mo and polymers (resists) with fluorine-based chemistry. Unprotected
surfaces of the following materials are not allowed: glasses, noble
metals (Au, Ag, Pt, Cu, Pd), heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Zn) and certain types
of polymers (e.g. silicones). In total, 8 process gases are presently
available: SF6, CHF3, CF4, C4F8, Ar, O2, H2, N2. LINK
The inclined surfaces can be readily fabricated by e.g. dry etching or epitaxial growth, and will provide masking during the atomic layer etching process. This process therefore provides access to fabrication of extremely small structures in a very precise and efficient way.

AlixLabs receives Vinnova grant for "Innovative startups"
The companies receive a grant of up to SEK 300,000 for developing prototypes or developing their business model. "The support enables young companies with risky projects to try their ideas and get some way to find an investor, customer or partner," says Emelie Falk, responsible for the announcement at Vinnova. Some of the startup companies that receive funding:

Fundamental to the entire IT explosion is the miniaturization that enabled an explosive increase in functionality with a reduced cost and power consumption. Moore's law describes the speed of this miniaturization in a way that has been valid since the mid sixties. However, we are now approaching a limit for the development with resolutions on individual atoms, where 10 nm corresponds to about 20 atoms.
AlixLabs has found and patented a phenomenon that makes it possible in a much simpler and cheaper way to manufacture semiconductors sub 10 nm. Our method can be said to use similar physical problems that other methods try to circumvent.
