OUR TECHNOLOGY
Flash-Within-Flash. The scalable technology platform for materials synthesis.
THE PROCESS
Inside the reaction. The MoSe₂ synthesis process
The materials that built modern computing are running out of road. What comes next has to be engineered, not discovered.
MATERIALS SCIENCE
Transition Metal Dichalcogenides (TMDs). The materials class defining the post-silicon era. Syntenix's Flash-Within-Flash platform synthesises a broad range of this materials class from a single reactor architecture.
Transition metal dichalcogenides are layered 2D materials, structurally distinct from silicon. At sub-5nm scale, silicon's electronic properties begin to break down. TMDs maintain stable performance at atomic thickness, making them the leading candidate for next-generation logic, advanced packaging and photonic interconnects.
Why TMDs matter
Semiconductor Sovereignty
TMDs enable post-silicon architectures, advanced packaging and the transistor technologies leading manufacturers are pursuing beyond conventional silicon.
AI & Advanced Compute
AI infrastructure increasingly depends on photonic interconnects and optical processing that require material platforms beyond conventional silicon.
Defense & National Security
Advanced materials underpin ISR, electronic warfare, secure communications, and space systems. Governments now treat access to these materials as a strategic priority.
Industrial & Lubrication
MoS₂ and WS₂ are established solid lubricants for extreme environments, including aerospace mechanisms, vacuum systems and high-temperature industrial applications where conventional lubricants fail.
Supply Chain Vulnerability
Current synthesis methods are slow and difficult to scale, creating long lead times and shortages across semiconductor, defence, and quantum markets.
Sub-5nm
What makes the FWF platform so different
A single reactor architecture producing high-purity 2D materials in seconds, not hours, with consistent quality across a growing family of transition metal dichalcogenides.
