TCS, IIT Bombay to Develop India’s 1st Quantum Tech based Tool for Semiconductor Chip Examination

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has partnered with the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay (IIT-Bombay) to develop India's first Quantum Diamond Microchip Imager. This advanced sensing 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.

The Quantum Diamond Microchip Imager is designed for semiconductor chip imaging. It will help improve quality control of semiconductor chips, leading to better product reliability, safety, and energy efficiency in electrical devices.

Over the next two years, experts from TCS will collaborate with Dr. Kasturi Saha, Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at IIT-Bombay, to develop the quantum imaging platform in the PQuest Lab.

Semiconductor chips play a crucial role in modern electronic devices across various industries, including communications, computing, healthcare, military systems, transportation, and clean energy. They act as the "brains" of these devices, enabling data processing and task completion.

This collaboration aligns with the Government of India's National Quantum Mission, which aims to position India as a global leader in quantum technology. The mission focuses on quantum sensing and metrology, among other areas.

Dr. Kasturi Saha expressed excitement about the collaboration, emphasizing the potential to drive innovation and transform sectors such as electronics and healthcare. Dr. Harrick Vin, Chief Technology Officer at TCS, highlighted the transformative impact of this initiative on various industries, from electronics to healthcare and beyond.

By combining their expertise, TCS and IIT-Bombay are contributing to the ongoing Second Quantum Revolution, which emphasizes cutting-edge capabilities in sensing, computing, and communication technologies. This collaboration represents a significant step toward India's quantum technology leadership and a brighter future for all.
