A brand new 5-millimeter (0.2-inch) calibration chip, guaranteeing correct measurement by gadgets utilized in laboratories, produced at a college in central Türkiye garners curiosity from consumers from overseas, together with Silicon Valley.
In collaboration with Necmettin Erbakan University within the Turkish metropolis of Konya and the Turkish lab gear producer Teknotıp, the venture to provide chips utilized in calibration measurements of digital, optical and electro-optical gadgets was launched on the college’s Science and Technology Application and Research Center (BITAM).
Yasin Ramazan Eker, the middle’s deputy director and venture coordinator, instructed Anadolu Agency (AA) that nanometric-sized supplies are utilized in analysis and growth (R&D) and manufacturing.
Eker stated that calibrated high-tech measuring devices are wanted to manage delicate manufacturing processes.
He added that the calibration course of itself will be completed by varied unbiased companies and organizations.
“The chip has a footprint of 5 millimeters (0.2 inches) and only weighs 0.25 grams (less than .0001 ounce), we sell them for $100 each,” instructed Eker.
Eker stated the chip is receiving curiosity from worldwide firms, together with a Dutch agency and an organization from Silicon Valley.
Physicist Oğuz Doğan, one of many venture researchers, confused that the chip is a high-value-added product and is commercialized in cooperation with the chip trade and the college.
Doğan famous that calibration is an important stage in laboratories, particularly in micro and nano purposes, including that chips utilized in these purposes haven’t been produced in Türkiye earlier than.
Arda Mungan, one of many venture companions and the corporate’s founder, highlighted that the chip is bought for $200 a gram, making it dearer than gold, which prices $100 a gram.
“The target market is Silicon Valley, Germany and the Netherlands, where well-known companies in the semiconductor industry exist,” he added. “We’ve also gotten interest from Japan. When we start active marketing, I think we’ll be able to sell much more effectively.”
