Indeed. Here is another page about the same thing: https://cwandt.com/products/pocket-fiche

"This project is a collaboration with Miles Segal (Gotham Silicon), whose mission is to make microchip fabrication more broadly accessible. Creating ultra high resolution micron-scale imagery is the very first step in this process."

"Those are clips of Miles in the Columbia University Nano-fabrication Facility where he is developing a workflow to make the technology required to build microchips more accessible."

Another mention of the same: https://x.com/JoinEdgeCity/status/1966180823129878656

"Miles Segal is building an ASIC foundry by repurposing vintage nano-fab gear to deliver custom chips in 24–48 hours."

"During the week he was at @EdgeEsmeralda, he focused on making new connections – leaving with new energy, confidence, and momentum from countless serendipitous convos."

So it seems to be one very young dude passionate about revolutionizing semiconductor processing. Whether there is an actual market for a super fast turnaround at 1 um node, and whether he has the experience and the support to pull this off, is somewhat dubious.

But of course wonderful things do sometimes happen. While he was a student, Sam Zeloof became a legend by building a chip fabrication lab in his garage, using surplus and home-made equipment. Now he has a serious team, working on developing mini-fabs: https://fab2.com/ That looks pretty serious.

>See the “3.1515…”? Each pixel in this 3×5 font is 750 nanometers x 750 nanometers. At the limits of visible light wavelengths.

No, I don't see 3.1515 ;)
