Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of Business	Nature of Business SkyWater Technology, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, “SkyWater,” the “Company,” “we”, “us”, or “our”), is a U.S.-based, independent, semiconductor foundry providing foundational-node manufacturing, advanced technology development, and advanced packaging services through an integrated, multi-site operating model. We operate exclusively within the United States, with fabrication and packaging facilities in Minnesota, Texas, and Florida. Our operations are designed to support customers that require secure, domestic manufacturing, long product life cycles, high reliability, and close engineering collaboration. Our business model integrates production-scale manufacturing with advanced technology development, enabling customers to transition specialized semiconductor technologies efficiently from development to volume production. We support a broad array of applications where continuity of supply, manufacturability, and long-term availability are as critical as device performance. This integrated approach positions SkyWater as a leading domestic manufacturing partner for commercial and government customers.
