EpiCoreVault is a pure-play MOCVD epitaxial foundry growing high-uniformity, high-yield III-V layers on 6″ GaAs and 4″ InP — and the trust layer that ships with them. Every wafer leaves with a cryptographically verifiable record of its origin, metrology, and custody, all the way to the data-center rack running your model.
● Live attestation — secure · verified · essential
Orlando Epitaxy Solutions operates EpiCoreVault as a pure-play MOCVD epitaxial growth service — an ITAR-compliant, defense-capable merchant foundry producing custom, atomic-scale epilayers on industry-standard AIXTRON reactor platforms.
A bare GaAs or InP substrate is structurally uniform but electronically inert — a blank slate. By growing ultra-thin, single-crystal layers on top of it, atomic composition can be tuned layer by layer to build heterojunctions and quantum wells that bend the local bandgap.
Running an MOCVD reactor is closer to atomic-scale chemistry than mechanical manufacturing — strict precursor-gas management, ±0.18°F control above 1292°F, and specialized fluid-dynamics recipes.
Mature recipe libraries achieve low defect densities and sub-nanometer uniformity across full batches. Outsourcing gives device fabs immediate access to production-grade material and mitigates risk.
Each platform pairs a substrate, a target epilayer stack, and a critical internal layer scale — tuned to the device it becomes.
EML / DFB lasers with strict active-region confinement for 1310 nm & 1550 nm long-haul fiber — the engine of 800G / 1.6T links inside AI clusters.
GaAs pHEMT / HBT amplifiers using ultra-thin, high-mobility AlGaAs/GaAs channels to process X-band and Ku-band radar and EW signals.
Triple-junction GaInP/GaAs/InGaAs stacks exceeding 30% efficiency, radiation-hard against cosmic-ray bombardment in LEO and GEO.
GaAs 2DEG spin-qubit heterostructures and 4K cryo low-noise amplifiers; InP photon sources for integrated quantum photonics and QKD.
Superluminescent diodes and tunable lasers emitting broadband NIR (1050–1300 nm) for non-invasive tissue imaging and lab-on-a-chip biosensors.
Ternary and quaternary recipes engineered to your bandgap, doping, and uniformity targets — modeled before the first run to minimize experimental loops.
Engineered to minimize particle contamination, control surface oxidation, and hold precise lattice-matched interfaces — with every step logged to the MES and bound to the lot.
Epi-ready 6″ GaAs / 4″ InP logged to MES; laser particle scanning baselines surface defects before the line.
Acid/solvent benches and megasonic baths; InP gets deep-vacuum bakeout to block oxide and moisture entrapment.
AIXTRON reactor: TMGa/TMIn + AsH₃/PH₃ in H₂ carrier; pyrolysis at 1020–1382°F; atoms migrate to lattice sites.
Non-destructive and destructive suite verifies electrical, optical, and physical specs of every wafer run.
N₂-purged loading, double-vacuum-sealed ESD/moisture-barrier bags, shock-absorbent transport containers.
A full non-destructive and destructive suite characterizes every run. In EpiCoreVault, each measurement is cryptographically bound to the lot, so the metrology report becomes verifiable provenance — not a detached PDF that can be edited, lost, or faked.
A modern AI accelerator passes through a dozen owners — epitaxial foundry, fab, OSAT, distributor, integrator, cloud — and the provenance record breaks a little more at each one. When the chain breaks, counterfeits, recycled parts, and tampered silicon slip in, and nobody can prove what's actually running in the rack.
Why it keeps happening — trust lives in three disconnected silos
Locked inside fab MES systems. Brittle, fab-internal, and it "gaps out" the moment a lot splits or a die moves to the next owner.
Checked downstream by distributors with sampling and paperwork — after the part is already in the box, often too late.
Vendor-specific GPU attestation proves firmware at boot, but never reaches back to the wafer the chip was cut from.
We stitch all three into a single, cryptographically-rooted ledger — wafer to workload, every step, every time.
Today you can verify a GPU's firmware (NVIDIA NRAS/RIM), and a fab can trace a wafer internally — but no platform binds the physical origin of the silicon to its runtime identity in the data center. There is no cross-vendor, cradle-to-grave trust graph. That missing connective layer is exactly what EpiCoreVault is.
The chain of custody EpiCoreVault makes verifiable
No existing player owns this end-to-end. Fab-MES vendors stop at the fab door. Anti-counterfeit firms start at the distributor. GPU vendors start at boot. EpiCoreVault is the only layer designed to span all of it.
Verifying chips, provenance, and supply chain from wafer to workload — so every device is provably genuine.
Authenticating epitaxial layers for performance, reliability, and origin — binding metrology evidence to the material itself.
Immutable records for every wafer. Every step. Every time — an audit trail that can't gap out or vanish.
Securing the physical foundation of the digital world — continuous, fleet-wide attestation across every rack.
A record only tells you what happened. EpiCoreVault's models reason across the entire provenance graph in real time — scoring risk, catching anomalies before they reach production, and generating audit-ready evidence on demand.
A graph model watches the full hardware genealogy and flags impossible routes, cloned IDs, and diversion patterns that signal counterfeit or gray-market entry.
Every wafer, die, and unit carries a continuously-updated 0–100 trust score, so buyers can quarantine risk before it ships, not after it fails in the field.
Models correlate photoluminescence, HRXRD, and Hall signatures to authenticate growth runs and predict device performance from the layer up.
Auto-maps records to AS6171, AS5553, CHIPS Act provenance, and export-control rules — and drafts the audit package in seconds.
Coordinates cross-vendor attestation across an entire data center — not one GPU at boot, but the whole fleet, continuously.

2026 base-year value of the global open epiwafer market (the wafer's value after epitaxial growth is complete), plus the domestic segments EpiCoreVault is positioned to serve as an ITAR-compliant supplier.
Figures from the Orlando Epi-Foundry business plan (2026 base year, open epiwafer market value). Catalysts: 5G/6G densification, 800G→1.6T co-packaged optics inside AI hyperscale data centers, automotive LiDAR, SatCom constellations, micro-LED displays, and quantum communication infrastructure.
Epitaxial growth multiplies wafer value several-fold. EpiCoreVault binds that value to verifiable provenance — so the premium is defensible, not just asserted.
