Technology-as-a-service
Streamlining the concept to production journey.
Transcending the Traditional Foundry Model
Traditional foundry models are optimized for scale and repeatability. But many breakthrough technologies begin long before a process is production-ready.
SkyWater pioneered the Technology-as-a-Service (TaaS) model to help customers move beyond the limitations of traditional microchip manufacturing. Our customers choose SkyWater’s TaaS model because it allows them to engage earlier in the technology lifecycle by working directly with process, device, and manufacturing experts to co-develop differentiated solutions, all while building a path toward commercialization and scale.
