SOVEREIGN DEEP-TECH // POST-SILICON INFRASTRUCTURE

Sovereign Semiconductor Infrastructure: Fab-Light, High-Yield 3D Heterogeneous Chips Engineered by Software.

StoneWood bypasses multi-billion-dollar EUV lithography bottlenecks. By uniting van der Waals additive integration with our multi-physics Sawyer EDA Suite, we unlock software-grade margins on post-silicon compute.

Industry Paradigm Shift

The Convergence Crisis

State actors have initiated procurement of over 5 million GaN semiconductors for 6G space-air-ground networks. Fusing wide-bandgap (WBG) materials introduces yield-killing interfacial defects that legacy commercial EDA tools cannot model. Cadence and Synopsys were built for silicon CMOS. That era is ending.

The Physics Wall

Silicon CMOS breaks down above 125°C. High-frequency 6G and defense platforms generate extreme thermal spikes that standard planar layouts cannot resolve.

The Yield Crisis

Wide-bandgap interfaces exhibit stochastic defects and thermal boundary resistance (~220 m²K/GW). Unmodeled interface variations collapse wafer yield.

EDA Failure

Legacy EDA tools assume perfect atomic lattice matching. They cannot simulate van der Waals thermal extraction, dipole shifts, or defect-adaptive placement.

Core Technology

The Monolithic Lambda Stack™

Three integrated pillars that bypass the EUV wall and unlock the post-silicon era through software orchestration.

Pillar 01 HARDWARE ARCHITECTURE

Lambda Process Architecture

Capital-light additive packaging that vertically folds mature 90nm CMOS digital logic directly over high-performance GaN/SiC wide-bandgap power devices.

EUV Dependency 0 EUV Required
Pillar 02 SOFTWARE ENGINE

Sawyer EDA Design Suite

Proprietary multi-physics compiler that natively models Van der Waals interfaces, GaN-on-Si RF structures, and photonic nanocavities. The design tool legacy vendors cannot build.

Software Margin ~80% Gross Margin
Pillar 03 AI COMPUTE CORE

All-Optical Switching Core

100× energy-efficiency improvement over silicon CMOS. MoSe₂ 2D semiconductor matrices inside Si₃N₄ photonic nanocavities create exciton-polariton quasiparticles for non-linear optical switching.

Energy Threshold 4 fJ Switching

Sawyer EDA Suite: The Governing Software Engine

Sawyer delivers software-grade business margins on a deep-tech hardware platform. By governing multi-physics design data across standard open-source libraries (SKY130, GF180, IHP130, ASAP7) and custom GaN-on-Diamond nodes, Sawyer acts as the indispensable compiler for the post-silicon era.

VdW Thermal Extraction

Calculates localized heat trapping at vdW interfaces and auto-shapes trace paths into micro-heat-sinks.

Gate-Stack Dipole Tuning

Algorithmically balances oxide coatings to automatically correct threshold voltage ($V_{th}$) shifts.

Deterministic Nano-Placement Compiler

Ingests real-time characterization maps and automatically routes active gates around substrate defects.
