📋 Tender Overview
Scope : To Build First Quantum Diamond Microchip Imager in India
Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), has partnered with IIT-Bombay to develop India's first quantum diamond microchip imager- a sensing tool for semiconductor chip imaging. The to-be-developed tool aims to unlock new levels of precision in the examination of semiconductor chips, reduce chip failures and improve the energy efficiency of electronic devices, a joint statement reads.
Under the partnership, experts from TCS will work with Dr Kasturi Saha, Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering of IIT-Bombay over the next two years to develop the tool.
Semiconductor chips are present in all modern electronic devices. These chips act as the brain of devices across industries such as communications, computing, healthcare, military systems, transportation and clean energy. As semiconductors continue to shrink in size, traditional sensing methods lack the precision and capabilities to detect anomalies in the chips.
The to-be-developed
Quantum Diamond Microchip Imager will be capable of imaging magnetic fields, enabling a non-invasive and non-destructive mapping of semiconductor chips.
The microchip image will use the defects in a diamond's structure, known as Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers, together with the other hardware and software for detecting and characterizing anomalies in semiconductor chips.
The union government has launched a National Quantum Mission to position the nation as a global quantum technology leader.
