🎉 MAJOR Day for Femtum 🎉 We have closed a $16M oversubscribed Series A to accelerate the deployment of our laser technologies for advanced semiconductor manufacturing. The round is led by BDC, the largest and most active venture capital investor in Canada, with participation from Fonds de solidarité FTQ, the leading evergreen fund in Quebec, 國泰創業投資股份有限公司(Cathay Venture), a strategic semiconductor-focused Taiwanese evergreen fund and i4 Capital, Boreal Ventures, Quantacet, Hamamatsu Ventures USA, and Invest Quebec | Investissement Québec International (Eureka) Cathay Venture brings strong Taiwanese roots, which will help open important doors as we deepen our presence in the global semiconductor ecosystem. Beyond the funds, great rounds are built with great people. A special thank you to Remi Fournier, co-founder of Fibrenoire & partner at BDC, who first triggered this round and helped make it happen. To Stanley Yu, bringing deep semiconductor experience including leadership roles at Amkor, and strong connections with Taiwan’s ecosystem. And to Pierre Paffenhoff, who adds strong venture capital depth and strategic perspective to the journey. Our mission at Femtum is clear: become a key part of the semiconductor manufacturing chain by enabling critical laser processes for the next generation of chips powering the AI era. A big thank you to all our investors and LPs for the trust. Special thanks as well to Francois Courteau CPA, our CFO, for the outstanding work behind this financing. And most importantly, thank you to the entire Femtum team and our partners. This milestone is the result of your work. Now we build. — Louis-Rafaël Robichaud CEO, Femtum https://lnkd.in/eEpzy8pK

In advanced fabs, cleaning is no longer just about removing residues — it’s about precision and selectivity. As devices shrink and become more complex, plasma cleaning falls short. Discover how mid-IR laser cleaning brings selective, contact-free precision to modern fabs — complementing plasma where it falls short. 🔗 Read the full article ''Beyond Plasma: Why Laser Cleaning Deserves a Spot in Your Fab'' here: https://lnkd.in/eBc6UHTm Have you started exploring laser-based cleaning in your process flow?

🚀 We’re headed to ECOC 2025! Join us at Booth C1126 to discover how Femtum’s pulsed laser solutions are enabling semiconductor and photonics manufacturing. Carl Paquet, Simon Duval and Robert Baribault will be onsite to discuss our laser cleaning and laser trimming solution. 📍 Let’s connect at the show—send us a message to book a meeting. #ECOC2025 #Photonics #SiliconPhotonics #AdvancedPackaging #LaserTechnology #Lasercleaning #Lasertrimming

We're thrilled to announce the release of a new white paper on photonics.com: "Wafer Waste Reduction: Femtum's Laser Trimming Redefines Photonic Circuit Yield and Performance." This paper explores how a new post-fabrication correction technique using laser trimming can redefine the yield and performance of photonic integrated circuits (PICs). It's a must-read for anyone in AI, telecommunications, or quantum computing looking to overcome manufacturing challenges. Inside, you'll discover how this novel laser-based method performs π-shifts with minimal additional loss, offering a powerful solution to reduce wafer waste.
