Ukuvulwa kutshanje kwesakhiwo sokuqala saseDenmark sokwenza i-wafer esingu-300mm kubonisa inyathelo elibalulekileyo eDenmark ekufezekiseni ukuzimela kwezobuchwepheshe eYurophu. Esi sakhiwo sitsha, esibizwa ngokuba yiPOEM Technology Center, sisebenzisana neDenmark, iNovo Nordisk Foundation's Quantum Chip Project (NQCP), kunye nenkampani yaseFransi iRiber, kwaye sikwiNiels Bohr Institute kwiYunivesithi yaseCopenhagen. Sibekwe njengesikhungo sokwenza i-photonics kunye ne-quantum chip, esi sikhungo sidibanisa ubuchwepheshe obuphambili obufana ne-molecular beam epitaxy, sijolise ekukhawuleziseni impumelelo yezobuchwepheshe kunye nokomeleza inkqubo ye-microchips kunye ne-quantum technologies eDenmark naseYurophu.
“Ngale ndawo, singadibanisa imveliso yezinto ezisetyenziswa ngaphakathi, nto leyo esenza sikwazi ukwenza uphando nophuhliso ngokufanelekileyo ngaphandle kokuthembela kwezinye iinkampani kwihlabathi liphela ngemveliso,” utshilo uPeter Krogstroup, i-CEO ye-NQCP kunye noprofesa kwi-Niels Bohr Institute. “Ngaphezu koko, isinceda siguqulele ngokuthe ngqo ubuchwepheshe bophando nophuhliso lube yimveliso enkulu—engazuzi thina kuphela kodwa neDenmark kunye nalo lonke icandelo lemveliso.”
Wongeze wathi, “Sibona imfuneko enkulu yee-wafers ezingama-300mm eYurophu. Siza kukwazi ukubonelela ngezixhobo ngokukhawuleza kwiindawo ezinkulu zokuvelisa izinto kunye nee-wafers ezincinci ezinezixhobo ze-300mm ezisemgangathweni kuba singasika izinto kwii-wafers zethu ukuze zilingane nobukhulu bazo obuncinci bee-wafers.”
IZiko leTekhnoloji yePOEM licwangciselwe ukuba lisebenze ngokupheleleyo kungakapheli unyaka, ngelo xesha liza kuvelisa ngobuninzi ii-wafers ze-silicon kunye ne-silicon-on-insulator. UKrogstrup kunye noogxa bakhe baza kusebenzisa itekhnoloji ye-epitaxial ephucukileyo kaRiber ukukhulisa izakhiwo zefilimu ezibhityileyo ze-strontium titanate (STO) kunye ne-barium titanate (BTO) kwii-wafers ukuze kwenziwe ii-electro-optic detectors, ii-transmitters, kunye ne-waveguides—izinto ezibalulekileyo zokudibanisa iiplatifomu ze-photonic kunye neesekethe ze-quantum ezintsonkothileyo.
UKrogstrom uthe izixhobo zokuqala zophando nophuhliso ziya kuba zilungile ekupheleni konyaka. Okwangoku, yena kunye noogxa bakhe bakha iziseko ezipheleleyo zokwenza iitships, kubandakanya ukwenziwa kweewafer, ukuqhekeza, kunye nezixhobo zokusika. Iziko liza kusebenza njengomgca wokuvelisa olingwayo kunye neziko lokulinganisa iitships. "Siza kukwazi ukwenza ngokukhawuleza izinto ezithambileyo kwiiwafers size emva koko sizise iitships kuye nabani na onomdla," utshilo. "Kwangaxeshanye, siza kuqhuba uphando oluphononongayo ukuze siphuhlise izakhiwo eziphambili."
Wongeze wathi, "Okwangoku, siza kuqhubeka nesigaba sophando nophuhliso de sifumane indlela echanekileyo yokwakha izinto ezifunekayo kwi-quantum computing, eyona nto sigxile kuyo."
UKrogstrup ulindele ukuba izinto ezintsha kwiZiko leTekhnoloji yePOEM ziya kunceda i-NQCP ifezekise iinjongo zayo zokubala i-quantum ezinyamezela iimpazamo ngokukhawuleza: “Kwi-NQCP, sine-suite enkulu yokuchonga ezenzekelayo enokuqinisekisa kwaye ichaze ulwakhiwo lwe-wafer yonke. Izixhobo zethu kunye namaqela okuchonga i-qubit aphuhlise iindlela ezinokubonelela ngokukhawuleza ngeempawu zezinto kunye nempendulo yomgangatho. Ke ngoko, ngokudibanisa ezi teknoloji ne-POEM, siya kuba nomgca ovaliweyo opheleleyo we-photonics yendawo kunye nophuhliso lwe-quantum chip.”
Amaziko aliqela aphambili aseDenmark, kuquka iZiko leSizwe leNanofabrication and Characterization leYunivesithi yobuGcisa yaseDenmark (iDTU Nanolab) kunye neNATO North Atlantic Defense Innovation Accelerator (iDIANA), athathe inxaxheba kule projekthi. I-DIANA ixhasa ubuchwepheshe obunenjongo ezimbini, kuquka ubuchwepheshe be-quantum kunye ne-photonic, kwizicelo zorhwebo nezokhuselo. "Uninzi lwee-optical modulators zethu kunye neesekethe ezidibeneyo ze-photonic ziya kuba luncedo kwiisensa (zorhwebo) kunye nokucutshungulwa kwedatha," utshilo uKrogstrop.
Okubalulekileyo kukuba, iziko letekhnoloji ye-POEM lihambelana nemizamo ebanzi yaseYurophu yokunciphisa ukuthembela kwiitships zaseMelika naseAsia. Ngokufanayo, eDenmark, iNovo Nordisk Foundation kunye neDanish Export Investment Fund batyale imali kunye kwi-€80 yezigidi kwiprojekthi yeQuNorth, bejolise ekusekeni ikhompyutha ye-quantum yesizukulwana esilandelayo saseDenmark. Ixhaswa ngumthetho we-chip we-EU, kuye kwavela ubudlelwane obuninzi phakathi kukarhulumente nabucala, obujolise ekuphindaphindeni isabelo seYurophu semveliso ye-semiconductor yehlabathi ukuya kwi-20% ngo-2030. NgoJulayi walo nyaka, iKhomishini yaseYurophu icebise icebo le-quantum eliquka ukuseka amaziko oyilo lwe-quantum kunye nemigca yokuvelisa ye-quantum chips, ejolise ekuncedeni iYurophu ukuba ibe yinkokeli yehlabathi kweli candelo ngo-2030.
UKrogstrop uthe, "Kula maxesha angaqinisekanga, apho singaqinisekanga ukuba ngubani esinokumthemba, sonke sinomdla wokuzimela kwezobuchwepheshe. Ukuba nezakhiwo ezininzi eYurophu kuyanceda, kwaye iMBONGO ibaluleke kakhulu kuba intsimi ye-photonics edibeneyo iyachuma."
Wongeze wathi, "Okwangoku, akukho migca yemveliso eYurophu enokukwazi ukuhlangabezana neemfuno zemveliso yethu ezayo ye-STO kunye ne-BTO. I-Imec eBelgium nayo iyandisa imigca yayo yemveliso. Lo mthamo mtsha uza kuba luncedo kakhulu."
Ukujonga phambili, uKrogstrom ulindele ukuba iZiko leTekhnoloji yePOEM liza kusebenzisana neefektri ze-wafer ze-300mm kulo lonke elaseYurophu. Ukwanethemba lokusebenzisana neefektri ze-wafer ze-300mm kwiindawo ezikude, kunye neGlobalFoundries e-US kunye neTSMC eTaiwan, kwiindawo zokwenziwa kweefotoniki eziphambili kunye nokuveliswa kwezixhobo ze-quantum. "Umzekelo, unxibelelwano lwe-quantum luya kudlala indima ebalulekileyo xa iikhompyutha ze-quantum ziqala ukuvelisa ngobuninzi," utshilo.
Ngoko ke, ukususela ngoku ukuya kuthi ga ngo-2030, i-CEO ye-NQCP kunye noogxa bakhe baya kuzinikela ekuphuhliseni iZiko leTekhnoloji ye-POEM libe yindawo ephucukileyo ye-quantum kunye ne-photonic chip ekumgangatho welizwe. “Siza kuqhubeka nokusebenza njengenxalenye yendawo ephucukileyo (yamazwe ngamazwe), kuba akukho mntu unokuzimela yedwa… kodwa sinethemba lokusebenzisana ngakumbi nabathathi-nxaxheba abahlukeneyo kunye neenkampani zezixhobo ezibandakanyeka kubuchwepheshe be-300mm,” utshilo uKrogstrop. “I-Riber yayiyinkampani yokuqala ukujoyina nathi, kodwa siza kwakha indawo enkulu (iziko) ukuze ezinye iinkampani zize ziphuhlise iimveliso zazo zamva nje kunye nobuchwepheshe obuphambili.”
