加拿大无晶圆厂半导体公司Stathera宣布完成超额认购的5500万美元B轮融资。
根据新闻稿,本轮融资由新投资者Maverick Silicon领投,现有投资者Celesta Capital、BDC Capital、MediaTek Innovation Fund、TXC Corporation和Ultratech Capital Partners继续支持。本轮融资使Stathera总融资额达到7500万美元。
Stathera将利用所得资金支持其GEN2硅基时序产品组合的量产,同时加速面向AI数据中心的下一代平台开发,并扩充公司的工程和商业团队。随着此次扩张,Stathera将设立硅谷办公室,以接触领先的AI、数据中心和超大规模客户。
“AI数据中心的性能日益受到限制,不是受限于原始计算能力,而是受限于数据在数万个处理器及其连接网络之间移动和保持同步的速度和一致性——这种同步必须依赖精密时序。”Stathera首席执行官兼联合创始人George Xereas表示,“几十年来,这种时序一直依赖石英,但Stathera正在利用半导体技术将这一基础硬件带入硅基新时代。”
Stathera的GEN2 32.768 kHz产品线基于其专有微制造技术,正在进入量产,其更广泛的GEN2产品组合正在向一级OEM提供样品。新闻稿称,借助B轮融资,Stathera还启动了GEN3平台的开发,该平台基于其专有的DualMode架构进行全新设计,专为AI-CED应用的性能和可靠性需求而打造。
“基于MEMS的时序提供了一种根本不同的方法,在集成度、可靠性和可编程性方面具有优势。”Maverick Silicon负责人Josh Miner表示,“这正是Stathera正在构建的。”
“硅基时序正在成为满足当前及下一代互联系统对精度和规模需求的引人注目的解决方案。”Celesta Capital创始管理合伙人Nicholas Brathwaite表示,“我们为支持Stathera感到自豪,并对团队取得的进展感到满意。”

Stathera, a Canadian fabless semiconductor company, has announced the close of an oversubscribed USD 55 million Series B financing.
The round was led by new investor Maverick Silicon with continued backing from existing investors Celesta Capital, BDC Capital, MediaTek Innovation Fund, TXC Corporation, and Ultratech Capital Partners, according to a media release. The financing brings total funding to USD 75 million.
Stathera will use the proceeds to fund mass production of its GEN2 silicon timing portfolio while accelerating development of its next-generation platform for AI data centers and growing the company’s engineering and commercial teams. With this expansion, Stathera will establish a Silicon Valley office to engage leading AI, data center, and hyperscale customers.
“AI data center performance is increasingly limited not by raw compute, but by how quickly and coherently data can move and remain synchronized across tens of thousands of processors and the networking connecting them — synchronization that must run on precision timing,” said George Xereas, CEO and co-founder of Stathera. “For decades that timing has meant quartz, but Stathera is using semiconductor technology to move this foundational hardware to a new era of silicon.
Stathera’s GEN2 32.768 kHz product line, built on the company’s proprietary microfabrication technology, is moving into mass production, and its broader GEN2 portfolio is now sampling with Tier 1 OEMs. With Series B, Stathera is also launching development of its GEN3 platform, a ground-up design based on its proprietary DualMode architecture and purpose-built for the performance and reliability demands of AI-CED applications, the media release said.
“MEMS-based timing offers a fundamentally different approach, with advantages in integration, resilience, and programmability,” said Josh Miner, Principal at Maverick Silicon. “That is what Stathera is building.”
“Silicon-based timing is emerging as a compelling solution to meet the precision and scale that connected systems demand, today and for the next generation,” said Nicholas Brathwaite, Founding Managing Partner of Celesta Capital. “We’re proud to back Stathera and pleased with how far the team has come.”
