IIT Bombay, TCS Develop India’s First Quantum Diamond Microchip Imager

May 29, 2024

IIT Bombay and TCS, India’s biggest IT services company, are working together to make the country’s first quantum diamond computer imager. This technology was just announced and it looks like it will completely change how semiconductor chips are inspected.

What is Quantum Diamond Microchip Imager?

A quantum diamond computer imager works in a way that is similar to how MRIs work in hospitals. It makes image magnetic fields possible so that semiconductor chips can be mapped without damaging or removing them. As semiconductor technology gets smaller, this ability is becoming more and more important as traditional sensing methods fight to keep up.

Integration of Advanced Technologies

This Indian-made imager uses quantum diamond microscopy along with software that is better at AI and machine learning. This puts India at the centre of the quantum revolution. It is expected that the microchip imager will make it easier to inspect semiconductor chips more accurately, lower the number of failed chips, and make electronic gadgets use less energy.

Applications and Impact

Semiconductor chips are used in many fields, such as clean energy, communications, computing, healthcare, defence systems, and transportation. Over the next two years, TCS and IIT Bombay will work together to make these gadgets safer, more reliable, and better at using energy.

Strategic Impact and Industrial Application

This project is part of the “Second Quantum Revolution,” which is moving quickly and needs people with skills in sensing, computing, and communication tools to work together. CTO of TCS, talked about how this project could change many businesses and how it would help society as a whole.
