## About

D2S, Inc. is an emerging company providing a computational design platform to maximize existing e-beam technology to reduce mask costs for both low and high volume applications. D2S™ design-for-e-beam (DFEB) mask technology reduces mask write times for high-volume designs with complex and circular features using existing e-beam mask writing equipment. D2S™ DFEB direct write technology virtually eliminates the costs of masks for low-volume applications and can speed time-to-market by shortening the design-to-lithography process flow.
