SUNY Poly Alumni Spinoff Lux Semiconductors
Albany Business Review
The startup Lux Semiconductors is taking space inside the Albany NanoTech Complex as it continues development and moves closer toward commercialization. The 521-square-foot lab space is inside the 70,000-square-foot NanoFab 200, also known as CESTM. Lux has the option to expand into office space there when needed.
Lux’s first-generation product is a circuit board containing components that can be made using semiconductor manufacturing tools rather than the tools used traditionally. The use of the semiconductor tools allows the copper wiring components in Lux’s board to be made so small that they connect directly to chips without the use of additional components. This ultimately creates a much lighter, smaller and more efficient system.
