imec announces the demonstration of high-quality 300mm-Si-based quantum dot spin qubit processing with devices resulting in a statistically relevant, average charge noise of 0.6µeV/√Hz at 1Hz. By demonstrating these values, repeatedly and reproducibly, this work makes large-scale quantum computers based on Si quantum dots a realistic possibility Read the full PR: https://ow.ly/zG6550SIRSE #quantum #innovation #qubits

Imec and ASML have officially opened their joint High NA EUV Lithography Lab, marking a significant milestone in the journey toward advanced semiconductor manufacturing. This state-of-the-art facility will accelerate the adoption of High NA EUV lithography, enabling the production of next-generation chips with unprecedented precision. 🔍 Key Highlights: First Prototype: The lab features the first prototype High NA (0.55NA) EUV scanner, set to enhance the patterning of 14nm logic chips and DRAM memory chips. Single Exposure Efficiency: High NA EUV technology allows for the patterning of complex structures in a single exposure, significantly improving yield and reducing cycle times. Sustainability Impact: Transitioning to High NA EUV could lead to a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions compared to traditional multi-patterning methods. These innovative leaps are expected to pave the way for mass production by 2025-2026, redefining the semiconductor landscape!
