Rethinking how advanced materials are made.
DeltaBlack Technologies is developing new approaches to materials manufacturing, beginning with semiconductor substrates.
Thesis
Semiconductor manufacturing has spent decades optimizing how large crystals are grown, sliced, polished and processed into wafers.
DeltaBlack is asking a more fundamental question:
Does the final substrate have to begin as one large crystal at all?
MGSF explores whether crystal-growth scale and substrate scale can be separated—by creating useful semiconductor material from smaller crystalline elements.
The idea is early and unproven. Our first task is to determine whether the interfaces can meet real semiconductor requirements.
First research program
MGSF — Mwangi Spaghetti Fusion
A DeltaBlack research program exploring new ways to create semiconductor substrate materials.
The work remains at an early research stage.
Vision
Build new manufacturing capabilities from first principles.
We’re working toward a future where advanced materials can be produced through more flexible, efficient and scalable manufacturing architectures.
Who is building this
Daniel Mwangi
Founder
I'm the founder of DeltaBlack Technologies. My professional background is in aviation operations, and I'm currently studying mechanical engineering. I didn't come from the semiconductor industry. Since developing MGSF, I've been building my knowledge of crystal growth, semiconductor materials, manufacturing and metrology through technical literature, modeling and independent engineering work.
I see the gaps in my semiconductor experience clearly, which is why recruiting experienced materials scientists, crystal-growth researchers and semiconductor engineers is an important part of building DeltaBlack.
Why I'm building this
The idea started unexpectedly.
I came across a video explaining the ultra-pure quartz from Spruce Pine and the Czochralski method used to grow silicon crystals for semiconductor wafers. I got curious and went down a rabbit hole trying to understand how semiconductor substrates are actually manufactured.
One question kept bothering me.
Why must the scale at which we grow a crystal determine the scale of the substrate we manufacture?
The semiconductor industry has spent decades making large-crystal growth extraordinarily sophisticated. Czochralski growth is highly optimized for scale and manufacturability, while Float Zone growth provides exceptional material properties for specialized applications.
But both ultimately begin by producing the large crystal first.
I started wondering whether that underlying architectural assumption could be changed.
That question became MGSF — Mwangi Spaghetti Fusion.
MGSF explores whether smaller crystalline elements could become the basis of larger useful semiconductor substrate material, effectively separating crystal-growth scale from final substrate scale.
I don't know yet whether it works.
The central technical challenge is whether the interfaces can achieve the structural and electrical quality required for useful semiconductor devices. That's what I want to determine experimentally.
I'm building DeltaBlack because I think that question is important enough to test.
