India’s first Quantum Diamond Microchip Imager
Context
IIT Bombay and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) have joined hands to pioneer India's inaugural Quantum Diamond Microchip Imager. This cutting-edge sensing tool is anticipated to revolutionize semiconductor chip examination, mitigate chip failures, and enhance the energy efficiency of electronic devices.
About
- The Quantum Diamond Microchip Imager utilizes defects in a diamond's structure, known as Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers, to non-invasively map semiconductor chip anomalies, akin to MRI in healthcare.
- It boasts advanced diagnostic capabilities, including identifying chip defects such as current leakages and visualizing three-dimensional charge flow in multi-layer chips.
- Semiconductor chips underpin modern electronic devices, endowing them with intelligence and efficiency, and are vital across diverse sectors like communications, computing, healthcare, military systems, transportation, and clean energy.
- National Quantum Mission Alignment: The partnership resonates with the National Quantum Mission, positioning India as a global quantum technology frontrunner.
Wide Applications
- Beyond semiconductor imaging, the imager holds promise for microelectronics, biological and geological imaging, and fine-scale magnetic field imaging.
- The collaboration builds upon TCS and IIT Bombay's longstanding partnership, fostering joint research, educational programs, and industry-academia collaboration since the 1990s.
