Chiral raises USD 12M to scale post-silicon computing beyond Moore's Law
09.02.2026
As silicon scaling nears its physical limits, nanomaterials are increasingly seen as a way to sustain chip performance and energy efficiency. Swiss deeptech company Chiral is tackling a key barrier: integrating nanomaterials into semiconductor devices at industrial scale.

Materials such as carbon nanotubes and two-dimensional semiconductors have shown promise in research, but adoption has been limited by the lack of precise, scalable, and contamination-free manufacturing processes. The Venture Kick winner Chiral Nano addresses this with a robotic integration system that combines automation, high-precision engineering, and AI-driven process control, allowing selective placement of nanomaterials onto silicon wafers at wafer scale. The approach supports the next generation of chips as the industry looks to extend the limits of Moore’s Law.
Since its founding two years ago, Chiral has developed its first commercial equipment and supported customers in industry and research. The company has now raised USD 12 million in a seed round, including public funding from Innosuisse, to move from development into deployment and strengthen throughput, precision, and reliability in real-world environments.
