Thintronics Bags $23M to Revolutionize Interconnect Insulate

Thintronics Inc., a Berkeley-based electronic materials startup, has secured $23 million in Series A funding to commercialize its groundbreaking insulator platform. The funding round was led by Maverick Capital and Translink Capital, who recognize the immense potential of Thintronics’ technology in driving the future of high-performance computing and communication systems.

Founded on the belief that traditional assumptions have hindered insulator material development, Thintronics has developed a suite of high-performance materials surpassing the current state of the art in electrical and mechanical characteristics.

CEO Stefan Pastine emphasizes the importance of optimizing the interconnect insulator, which is fundamental to modern electronics and unifying it across the fabric to operate near its theoretical insulation limit.

Enabling High-Performance Compute and AI Datacenters

Maverick Capital’s Kenny Safar said that Thintronics’ insulator film innovation is crucial for AI datacenters to meet the growing demand for faster data transfer speeds, wider bandwidth, improved power consumption, and signal integrity.

As AI servers adopt 224G standards and beyond, Thintronics’ technology is a fundamental substrate-level enabler. Furthermore, the company’s commitment to domestic sourcing of components is a significant step towards onshoring advanced packaging technologies and ensuring vertically integrated supply chains in the US.

Unlocking New Design Possibilities

Translink Capital’s Brendan Walsh supports Thintronics in delivering novel materials solutions that elegantly address critical electrical performance bottlenecks for AI datacenters and other high-performance applications.

CTO Tristan El Bouayadi highlighted the superior electrical and thermo-mechanical performance that allows customers to unlock new design possibilities and applications in Networking, AI acceleration, RF mmW communication, and Radar. Thintronics optimizes form-factor design for Consumer and Infrastructure devices and products by synthesizing ultra-thin dielectric layers.

With the backing of Maverick and Translink, who bring deep connections and experience in target entry markets and a robust ecosystem of partner companies in the US and Asia, Thintronics aims to revolutionize the interconnect insulator market and drive the future of advanced computing and communication systems.
