DIAMONIQ · Developing First-in-Class Diamond-based Quantum Microscopy for immediate semiconductor industry applications

Semiconductors are an essential component of modern electronics. The miniaturization of semiconductors has been a key driver of technological innovation. However, as semiconductor technology continues to advance, the available quality control methods, such as thermal imaging or voltage alteration measurements, become insufficient. Diamond-based quantum sensing has the potential to answer the need for precise diagnostics of detecting magnetic field alterations caused by chips defect. But available implementations suffer from a tradeoff between speed and imaging resolution.At QuantumDiamonds, we overcome these challenges and developed a Super-resolution Quantum Imager (SQI) that combines advanced optical components with proprietary diamond production and software. Our system enables imaging at sub-100 nm resolution and fast measurement in the range of minutes. In this project, we will test it with actors from the semiconductor industry and prepare our system for commercialization.
