SiOnyx, a Beverly, MA-based developer of “black silicon” for imaging systems, has raised $6.3 million of a planned $12 million round of equity financing, according to an SEC filing. The Harvard University spin-out previously raised $11 million in a venture round from Harris & Harris, Polaris Venture Partners, and RedShift Ventures, in 2007.
