So the portfolio does not just claim \u201ca chip\u201d; it claims a method and system for producing buildable, versioned designs that scale to \u201cany size chip\u201d and \u201cscalable FLOPS\u201d (e.g., to zettaflop scale).<\/p>\n<h3>Why It Matters for Partners<\/h3>\n<p>Investors and foundries want to see that a design is not stuck in a lab. Foundry-ready language and GDSII\/LEF outputs signal that the inventor has taken the step from concept to manufacturable artifact. The patent ties that to a specific application (19\/540,453) and filing date (February 13, 2026), so that any licensing or partnership discussion can reference a single, filed specification.<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: US Patent Application 19\/540,453, Sections 8.5, 8.15, and Claims 7, 10.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>[\/lcus_masonry_article]<\/p>\n<p><!-- crione-related-start --><\/p>\n<div class=\"crione-rel\">\n<style>.crione-rel{margin:2em 0;padding:1.25em 0;border-top:2px solid #ddd;border-bottom:2px solid #ddd;}.crione-rel-title{font-weight:600;font-size:1.05em;margin-bottom:.75em;}.crione-rel-grid{display:grid;grid-template-columns:repeat(auto-fit,minmax(180px,1fr));gap:1em;}.crione-rel-card{display:block;text-decoration:none;color:inherit;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:6px;padding:.75em;transition:box-shadow .15s;}.crione-rel-card:hover{box-shadow:0 4px 12px rgba(0,0,0,.08);}.crione-rel-card img{display:none;}.crione-rel-name{font-weight:500;line-height:1.3;margin-bottom:.25em;}.crione-rel-price{font-weight:600;color:#0a7;}<\/style>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-title\">Related from cri-one.com\/store<\/div>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-grid\"><a class=\"crione-rel-card\" href=\"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/store\/semiconductor-method-discovery-15.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/store\/pub\/media\/catalog\/product\/s\/m\/smd-15-2026.png\" alt=\"Semiconductor Method Discovery \u2014 AES YFlops IC Fabrication\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-name\">Semiconductor Method Discovery \u2014 AES YFlops IC Fabrication<\/div>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-price\">$5000000000000.00<\/div>\n<p><\/a><a class=\"crione-rel-card\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/store\/pub\/media\/catalog\/product\/a\/u\/autophi_future_1.png\" alt=\"AutoPhi Future\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-name\">AutoPhi Future<\/div>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-price\">$7000000000000.00<\/div>\n<p><\/a><a class=\"crione-rel-card\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/store\/pub\/media\/catalog\/product\/7\/8\/7893113284.png\" alt=\"AutoPhi 3.5 ZFLOPS\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-name\">AutoPhi 3.5 ZFLOPS<\/div>\n<div class=\"crione-rel-price\">$5000000000000.00<\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- crione-related-end --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not Just RTL\u2014Deliverables That Foundries Accept<br \/>\nTwo embodiments in application 19\/540,453 are explicitly \u201cfoundry-ready\u201d: the quantum battery (with GDSII generation tools) and the semicond&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[408],"tags":[397,140,424,475,461,139],"class_list":["post-103721","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-computing-semiconductor","tag-application-19-540453","tag-foundry","tag-gdsii","tag-lef","tag-seed-matrix","tag-semiconductor"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103721","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103721"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103721\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":903399,"href":"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103721\/revisions\/903399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cri-one.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
