First company to produce all-digital superconducting chips for control, readout and multiplexing of a quantum computer; Company also reveals high-performance, full-stack quantum computing reference system
UNISERS, a Swiss semiconductor metrology company that identifies invisible contamination-caused defects in semiconductor materials, raised $14M in Seed funding led by Intel Capital, with participation from M Ventures, RSBG Ventures and Swisscom Ventures. UNISERS is on a mission to change the paradigm of particle inspection in the semiconductor industry at a time when optimizing yield and avoiding excursions in the most advanced and expensive manufacturing nodes holds significant importance.
Particle contamination during the manufacturing of semiconductor chips is leading to losses worth billions of dollars, while also contributing to the industry’s environmental footprint. Unfortunately, to date, finding the source of such contaminants is both costly and time-consuming.
“As the semiconductor industry continues to suffer from the chip shortage crisis, the pressure is on to drastically reduce the contamination of chips which compromise output.“

“The newest nodes will require tools to characterize increasingly smaller particles, not just in the semiconductor fab, but across the entire supply chain, including all process chemicals that feed into chip manufacturing,” adds Owen Lozman, Managing Director of M Ventures. “Contamination control through advanced metrology solutions will require collaboration of foundries, tool makers, and material suppliers, and we believe in UNISERS as one of the key enablers towards this vision.”
“With RSBG Ventures, we invest in promising industries and strengthen forward-thinking companies with room for innovation and growth. Based on our expertise in microfabrication, we are convinced that the innovative technology developed by UNISERS has the potential to significantly improve global semiconductor manufacturing processes,” said Martin Wynaendts van Resandt, Managing Director of RSBG Ventures and CEO of LAB14 Group.
