What is Isotope Enrichment?
Isotope enrichment is the process of increasing the concentration of a desired isotope. For example, enriched Silicon-28 has a concentration of
99.995%+ vs its 92.2% natural concentration, removing Silicon-29 and 30 isotopes
What is an Isotope?
ATOMIC STRUCTURE
Atoms
Atoms of the same element with the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
Similar chemical behavior but can have different physical properties, including mass
Can be stable or radioactive, depending on the structure of the nucleus

Standard silicon environment:
Heat generation due to Silicon-29 and Silicon-30 scattering electrons
Enriched Silicon-28 environment
Reduced scattering supports improved thermal flow
Simple visual representation of electron scattering causing thermal increases due to Si-29 and Si-30. Followed by a representation of electron flow in enriched Silicon-28.
The bottleneck in next-gen chip performance is heat dissipation and thermal conductivity. As more transistors are added to chips and power density rises, thermal management becomes the critical limiting factor - exactly where Silicon-28 is expected to achieve next generation thermal gains.
Our enriched Silicon-28 is expected to be fab-ready (99.99999% chemical purity); at 99.9% isotopic purity, delivering 20%-30% thermal conductivity improvement at room temperature, and more at cryogenic temperatures.
Removing Si-29 and Si-30 reduces phonon scattering, improving heat flow.
The leading costs driven by thermal issues are both energy consumption and shorter depreciation schedules -we believe our solution can address both in a significant way.

We plan to capture the next generation of chips through our zero spin isotopes for quantum uses.
Classical computers process information using bits that exist in one of two states (0 or 1). In contrast, quantum computers employ qubits, which can exist in a superposition of states (and entanglement), enabling them to represent and process multiple possibilities simultaneously.
Enrichment of Silicon-28 and Germanium-70 to 99.995% isotopic purity with the chemical requirements for fabricators is expected to allow large fabs to utilize their current silicon and germanium infrastructure for quantum chips.
Enrichment of Carbon-12 to 99.995% isotopic purity is expected to allow for the production of diamond films and NV Diamond materials due to the zero spin characteristics of Carbon-12.
Other Materials, such as Ytterbium-171, Nitrogen-15 and others, are isotopes with lower or zero spin that we may produce for the industry.
It is critical that the materials deployed for these computers have zero-spin which reduces magnetic noise, increases time to coherence, and thus increases compute time.
