Flash-Within-Flash™
Powering the Next Materials Era
A manufacturing platform for the 2D materials that the next generation of semiconductors, quantum devices, and defence systems depend on. Built from Rice University IP, designed for scale.
THE BREAKTHROUGH
Advanced materials are critical for Semiconductor, AI, Defense, Aerospace, and Quantum Technologies. Conventional synthesis is slow, expensive, and exposed to geopolitical supply constraints. Syntenix's Flash-Within-Flash platform changes everything.
FWF is a controlled electrical discharge reaction that reaches 2,500°C in seconds, synthesising high-purity TMD powders in seconds that conventional CVD takes 6 to 24 hours to produce. One platform, scalable from grams to kilograms.
The full synthesis cycle. Precursor load to crystallised TMD powder, ready for qualification.
Materials across Semiconductor, Defense, Quantum, and Energy, including solid lubricants for extreme environments. One reactor, one platform.
Multi-jurisdiction patent protection active across US, EU, Australia, Japan, and South Korea.
WHY NOW?
THE PROCESS
THE PLATFORM
24+
Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) synthesised on one platform.
VERTICAL INTEGRATION
Owned feedstock. Owned process. No foreign dependency.
Syntenix holds the Tiquihua molybdenum skarn project in Ayacucho, Peru. A historically producing asset with documented grades exceeding 50% Mo concentrate, surrounded by world-class operations including Antamina, Tintaya, and Las Bambas. Owned feedstock. Owned process. Supply chain diversification from resource to qualification-ready material.
US Project Homestead critical materials stockpile initiative
UPSTREAM RESOURCE
Tiquihua molybdenum skarn, Ayacucho, Peru. High-grade, historically producing, diversified, non-concentrated origin.
FEEDSTOCK SECURITY
Direct ore-to-precursor supply route. Eliminates third-party dependency at the critical input stage.
FWF SYNTHESIS
Proprietary electrical discharge reaction. Precursor to crystallised TMD powder in seconds.
MATERIAL OUTPUT
Qualification-ready MoSe₂, WSe₂ and 24+ additional TMDs at industrial yield.
END MARKETS
Semiconductor fabs, defence contractors, quantum research labs, and aerospace OEMs across the US and EU.
