Upscaling semiconducting and superconducting qubits with customized 300mm CMOS-compatible fabrication processes in the advanced pilot lines of imec

Scaling up the number of quantum bits (qubits) is one of the major hurdles in quantum computing, requiring improvements in quality and yield of the qubitsTwo imec papers demonstrate for the first time an industry-scale fabrication process for both semiconducting and superconducting qubits –achieving high reproducibility, low noise, and high yield.The Si-quantum dot-based qubits display record-low charge noise levels, a critical parameter to maintain quantum coherence and obtain high-fidelity control of the qubits – both key metrics.The papers were published in NPJ Quantum Information and Nature.

2T0C IGZO-based DRAM opens doors to high-density 3D DRAM and embedded DRAM

Technology review

Traditional DRAM technology, with memory bit cells consisting of one silicon transistor and one capacitor, faces major scaling challenges.A new DRAM bit cell without a capacitor and with two thin-film transistors – each having an oxide semiconductor channel such as indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (IGZO) – shows promises for continuing the DRAM technology roadmap, clearing the way for high-density 3D DRAM and embedded DRAM.

Imminent bioconvergent tools and AI will decode the black box of biology

Vision

The breakthroughs of large language models were made possible by converging massive computational power with large databases.If we could train a similar AI model on biology, we would be able to enhance our understanding of diseases and engineer superior therapeutics.However, this requires complex, rich, and thus far inaccessible datasets.

A study on charge trapping and emission

Longread

This article focuses on the reliability of GaN-on-Si MOS-HEMTs for mm-wave power amplifiers, particularly in the context of 5G technologyWe have identified charge trapping and emission in HEMT structures with high-κ dielectrics, which impact the performance and reliability of these devices.The study highlights the differences in charge trapping behavior between HfO₂ and Al₂O₃ dielectrics, with HfO₂ showing more persistent threshold voltage shifts.The findings are significant for optimizing material combinations and layer thickness choices in high-frequency, high-power devices.
