Advancing Semiconductor Manufacturing in Microgravity

On Earth, gravity-driven sedimentation introduces defects during crystal growth, leading to impurities that degrade semiconductor performance. In microgravity, these forces are nearly eliminated, enabling the production of purer, more uniform and larger crystals.

The Result

  • Higher quality chips with fewer defects
  • Increased production cadence through optimized growth conditions
  • Cost savings in both manufacturing time and processes

Key Applications

  • High-performance electronics
  • Optical materials and photonics
  • Next-generation telecommunications
  • Research & development tools
  • Medical devices
  • Defense and aerospace systems

Closing the Logistics Gap

One of the primary challenges facing in-space semiconductor manufacturing is affordable, reliable logistics to and from low Earth orbit (LEO).

Space Phoenix Systems addresses this challenge with purpose-built orbital logistics—streamlining both payload delivery and retrieval—so semiconductor innovators can focus on scaling production instead of supply chain limitations.
