Company profile
researched Aug 2026InchFab develops a proprietary semiconductor fabrication platform in which hardware, processes and software tools operate together as a single integrated system. The platform is modular: it can be configured for different fabrication processes and reconfigured as a user's requirements change, following an "application specific fabs" approach summarized by the company as one application, one fab, one chip.
The architecture is designed to be scalable, allowing users to begin with a small installation and expand capability incrementally as research, development or production needs grow. The company presents three lines of activity: a foundry service, the InchFab Line (the fabrication equipment platform itself) and InchFab Training. Materials on the company site refer to a 1-inch fab format aimed at micro- and nano-fabrication.
Business model
InchFab offers a foundry service alongside its InchFab Line fabrication platform and an associated training program, combining equipment supply with services.

Market position
Endorsements published on the company site from MEMS industry figures Charles Yang and Kurt Petersen (co-founder of Cepheid and SiTime) describe the platform as potentially disruptive to the current micro-/nano-fabrication landscape and as changing the dynamics of MEMS prototyping and manufacturing by reducing turnaround time and cost.
The company positions three attributes as differentiators: a modular architecture configurable for different fabrication processes, a proprietary fully integrated platform unifying hardware, processes and tools, and a scalable design intended to start small and expand over time.
Technology
A fully integrated proprietary fabrication platform combining hardware, process recipes and tools, built around modular units that can be configured per process and expanded incrementally. Company materials describe a 1-inch fab format for micro- and nano-fabrication of specialized devices.
Go-to-market
The company markets directly through its website, publishing a downloadable white paper and offering foundry services, equipment lines and training as entry points.
Organizations doing micro- and nano-fabrication of specialized devices, including MEMS prototyping and production, and users whose devices cannot be supported economically in larger 6-8 inch fabs.
