Was Aerogen Systems tut
We are building the future of chip manufacturing. Chips are more advanced than ever, and the features inside them keep getting smaller. But the cleanroom infrastructure supporting their manufacture has not scaled at the same pace. Intel, TSMC, Samsung, and others spend billions building and operating massive cleanrooms, only to isolate their most advanced wafers from the surrounding facility as much as possible. We think that architecture is backwards. Instead of making the entire building cleaner, why not make the machinery itself as clean as possible? Talos is our proprietary tool-integrated purification system. It sits directly inside semiconductor equipment and continuously destroys airborne molecular contaminants before they reach the wafer. Instead of fighting contamination by constantly flooding tools with ultra-high-purity nitrogen, Talos keeps the environment inside the machine 10 - 100x cleaner, without the massive purge-gas bill. Talos is powerful on its own, but it is also the foundation for a much bigger vision: the Cleanpipe. The Aerogen Systems Cleanpipe is an ultra-clean interconnect infrastructure that protects wafers as they move from machine to machine across the fab. Rather than relying on a billion-dollar cleanroom to protect every cubic foot of factory space, Cleanpipe creates a controlled environment only where cleanliness actually matters: around the wafer. Talos cleans the tools. Cleanpipe connects them. Eventually, we delete the cleanroom and build more advanced chips, at greater scale, with radically less infrastructure. With cleanpipes connecting tools, chip fabs can exist anywhere.

Company
Aerogen Systems
Modernizing Chip Manufacturing Infrastructure
We build hardware for semiconductor fabs. Our main product, Talos, is a purification system that sits inside chip manufacturing machines and destroys airborne molecular contaminants before they can ruin wafers. We're also developing Cleanpipe: a wafer transfer infrastructure that keeps wafers ultra-clean as they move between tools. Our vision is to radically shrink the role of the cleanroom so fabs can build more advanced chips anywhere, with less overhead.
We are based in Ann Arbor, MI, and the company would stay here after YC.
Ann Arbor has the specialized technical talent and resources we need for hard tech and manufacturing. Staying grounded here lets us build and test hardware, work with local suppliers, and be close to future talent.
