Startup & Prototyping Kits
Curated wafer substrate kits, process development support, and flexible quantity options for semiconductor startups.
Overview
Early-stage hardware startups rarely need — or can afford — full-lot minimum orders. Our startup prototyping kits bundle small quantities of wafers, masks, and process chemicals matched to your specific device stage, letting you validate a design before committing to production volumes.
Every kit includes technical documentation, process recipe guidance, and direct access to our applications engineers — so first-time fabricators get the same quality and support as established customers, without the overhead of enterprise procurement.
Prototyping Kits
Mixed Substrate Sampler Kit
Five 150mm wafers spanning silicon, SOI, glass, AlN-on-Si, and gold-on-silicon substrates — built to let you validate a new process across multiple material systems before committing to a single substrate.
Silicon Starter Kit
Five 200mm silicon wafers across a range of doping types and resistivities, cut to SEMI M1 notch standard — the fastest path to first silicon for CMOS and general-purpose device prototyping.
Wide-Bandgap Power Kit
Four wafers spanning 4H-SiC, GaN-on-Si, and SOI substrates for power device prototyping, delivered with a curated list of recommended epitaxy vendors to speed your process qualification.
Photonics & Optical Kit
Four optical-grade substrates — SOI, Si₃N₄/SiO₂, InP, and glass — polished to waveguide-grade surface roughness for silicon photonics, integrated optics, and laser device prototyping.
Additional Services
Beyond the kit itself, we offer services to support your path from first silicon to volume production.
🔧 Process Development Consulting
Work directly with our applications engineers to select substrate specifications, doping, and orientation before you commit wafers to a production process.
📦 Custom Kit Packaging
Combine wafers across material systems into a single kit tailored to your project scope, packaged and fully documented for immediate lab use.
🏭 Small-Batch Fab Access
Direct access to pilot-line photolithography, etch, deposition, and dicing on your kit wafers — no minimum order quantities required.
💡 Engineering Design Reviews
One-on-one technical reviews of your process flow to catch substrate compatibility issues and recommend material alternatives before fabrication begins.
📋 Full Documentation Packages
Certificates of conformance, datasheets, and process guidelines ship with every kit so your team can move directly from delivery to fabrication.
🌐 Global Shipping & Logistics
Cleanroom-compatible international shipping with complete customs documentation, tracked delivery, and expedited options for time-sensitive schedules.
Growth Support
As your project matures from prototype to pilot production, we scale with you — no re-qualification, no new supplier onboarding, just an expanding order size on the same wafers you've already validated.

Technical Metrics
Why Choose Us
Designed specifically for early-stage hardware startups, our prototyping kits provide everything needed for your first fabrication run — wafers, masks, process chemicals, and accessories — in one convenient package with clear documentation.
We understand startup constraints: limited budgets, uncertain timelines, and evolving specifications. Our flexible ordering, no minimum quantities, and engineering support help you iterate quickly without breaking your budget.
Case Studies
From Prototype to Production
Our startup prototyping program has supported over 150 early-stage companies in bringing MEMS, photonics, and semiconductor innovations from concept to first silicon. Many have progressed to volume production with us as their supply chain partner.
Ordering Process
Choose from our standard prototyping kits, or contact our engineering team to design a custom kit.
Review and confirm your kit specifications, quantities, and delivery schedule.
Your prototyping kit ships with complete documentation and technical support information.
Fabricate on your kit wafers and validate your process on real production-grade material.
Our applications engineers are available to troubleshoot process issues and recommend material or process adjustments.
When you're ready to move beyond prototyping, we transition you to standard production ordering — same specs, same point of contact, larger volumes.
