MacroThermo couples patent-pending technologies — NanoTwin™, PlantTwin™, and Modular MPC — into one closed loop that controls heat from the silicon surface to the central chiller plant.
From the silicon surface to the central chiller plant, patent-pending pillars couple into a single closed loop — the "Wafer-to-Chiller" thermal operating system.
A physics-guided (PGML) digital twin that replaces slow Finite Element Analysis with Fourier Neural Operators — delivering single-state queries in under 5 ms and the full 3-D junction and wafer temperature field in 28 ms.
A facility-scale infrastructure digital twin that models the full cooling network and captures the tool-to-facility dynamic interactions and load rejection that reactive controls miss.
A constrained convex optimization engine pairing fast edge MPC with supervisory plant MPC, under a hardware-enforced advisory-only fail-safe that keeps native controllers in full safety authority.
The defensible advantage is the coupling. A heat pulse detected at the silicon surface is propagated, forecast, and acted on across the full physical continuum — seconds before the thermal wave arrives.
Result: wafer uniformity clamped within ±0.2°C and sub-fab PCW header stability held within ±0.1°C.
A side-by-side solve-speed race on a wafer prober. The NanoTwin™ digital twin computes the full 3-D temperature field in 28 ms while FEA takes minutes.

MacroThermo's near-term focus is semiconductor manufacturing, where thermal precision directly drives yield. The same technology extends to medical devices, high-power laser cooling, and other precision cooling applications.
Enable next-node yield with thermal stability for lithography, etch, deposition, and test. Our systems integrate seamlessly into fab tools and subfab infrastructure.
Extending the same technology to medical devices (MRI, CT, IVD analyzers), high-power laser cooling, and other precision cooling applications. Designed for reliability, serviceability, and regulatory compliance.
To build complete thermal systems — hardware and software engineered together — for mission-critical manufacturing. Our edge appliances, control gateways, and factory-calibrated equipment models run on site, optimizing precision, energy efficiency, and yield from the wafer surface to the central chiller plant.
Heat is continuous, but its control is not. Inside the tool, slow simulations force reactive control loops; in the sub-fab, chiller plants run on static schedules. When a heat pulse leaves the chamber, the facility reacts minutes too late — and the swing feeds back into the process.
CJ Tang founded MacroThermo in 2026 in the Capital Region of New York, home of the Albany NanoTech Complex, to close that gap. NanoTwin™, PlantTwin™, and Modular MPC couple the tool and the facility into one closed loop.
Whether you’re an investor, a semiconductor fab or equipment OEM, or a medical, laser, or precision-cooling developer, let’s discuss how ultra-precise, climate-safe thermal systems can de-risk your roadmap.
