History

MonolithIC 3D™ Inc. was founded and incorporated in 2009 by Zvi Or-Bach, a well-known Silicon Valley serial entrepreneur, under the name NuPGA. The mission of NuPGA was to develop Programmable Logic technology with density, speed, and power approaching ASICs. On the way, while developing improved FPGA technology, the NuPGA team discovered a path for practical monolithic 3D-ICs. Recognizing that this breakthrough and its many related innovations represented a paradigm shift for the entire semiconductor industry, Zvi Or-Bach, the CEO, changed the company strategy to focus on monolithic 3D-ICs, and renamed the company MonolithIC 3D™ Inc.
