Ngā Pūrongo Ahumahi: Kua oti te hanga i te whare hanga wafer 12-inihi tuatahi o Tenemāka

"Mā tēnei whare, ka taea e mātou te whakauru i te hanga rauemi i roto i te whare, ka taea ai e mātou te whakahaere rangahau me te whanaketanga i runga ake i te whai huatanga me te kore e whakawhirinaki ki ētahi atu kamupene huri noa i te ao mō te whakaputa," te kī a Peter Krogstroup, te Tumu Whakarae o NQCP me te ahorangi i te Niels Bohr Institute. "Hei tāpiri, ka āwhina i a mātou ki te whakamaori tika i ngā hangarau rangahau me te whanaketanga ki te whakaputanga nui—he painga tēnei, ehara i te mea ko mātou anake engari ko Denmark me te umanga katoa."

I tāpiri atu ia, "E kite ana mātou i te nui o te hiahia mō ngā anga 300mm i Ūropi. Ka taea e mātou te tuku rauemi tere ki ngā whare hanga whakarewa nui me ngā whare hanga anga iti he taputapu 300mm matatau ā rātou nā te mea ka taea e mātou te tapahi i ngā wāhanga mai i ā mātou anga kia uru ki ō rātou rahi anga iti ake."

Kua whakaritea kia tino whakahaerehia te Pokapū Hangarau POEM i roto i te tau kotahi, ā, i taua wā ka hangaia he papatipu o ngā anga silicon me te silicon-on-insulator. Ka whakamahia e Krogstrup me āna hoa mahi te hangarau epitaxial matatau a Riber ki te whakatipu i ngā hanganga kiriata angiangi strontium titanate (STO) me te barium titanate (BTO) i runga i ngā anga hei hanga i ngā taputapu kite hiko-whatu, ngā tuku, me ngā arataki ngaru—ngā wāhanga matua mō te whakauru i ngā papaaho photonic me ngā ara iahiko irahiko matatini.

I kī a Krogstrom ka rite ngā rauemi tuatahi mō te rangahau me te whanaketanga i te mutunga o te tau. I tēnei wā, kei te hanga ia me āna hoa mahi i tētahi hanganga hanga maramara katoa, tae atu ki te hanga wafer, te tapatapahi, me ngā taputapu tapatapahi. Ka mahi te pokapū hei raina whakaputa whakamātautau me te pokapū tauira maramara. "Ka taea e mātou te hanga tere i ngā rauemi kiriata angiangi ki runga i ngā wafer, kātahi ka tuku maramara ki te hunga e hiahia ana," tana kī. "I taua wā anō, ka whakahaerehia hoki e mātou he rangahau tūhura hei whakawhanake i ngā hanganga hou."

I tāpiri atu ia, "I tēnei wā, ka haere tonu mātou i te wāhanga rangahau me te whanaketanga kia kitea rā anō te huarahi tika hei hanga i ngā wāhanga e hiahiatia ana mō te rorohiko irahiko, koinei tā mātou arotahi matua."

E matapaetia ana e Krogstrup mā ngā mahi auaha i te Pokapū Hangarau POEM ka āwhina i te NQCP ki te whakatutuki i ana whāinga rorohiko irahiko e manawanui ana ki te hapa kia tere ake: "I NQCP, he huinga whakaahuatanga aunoa nui tā mātou ka taea te manatoko me te whakaahua i te hanganga o te wafer katoa. Kua whakawhanakehia e ā mātou rauemi me ngā tīma whakaahuatanga qubit ngā tikanga ka taea te whakarato tere i ngā āhuatanga rauemi me te urupare kounga. Nō reira, mā te whakakotahi i ēnei hangarau me te POEM, ka whai mātou i tētahi porowhita kati katoa mō te whanaketanga photonics ā-rohe me te maramara irahiko."

He maha ngā whare wānanga matua o Tenemāka, tae atu ki te National Centre for Nanofabrication and Characterization (DTU Nanolab) o Te Whare Wānanga Hangarau o Tenemāka me te NATO North Atlantic Defence Innovation Accelerator (DIANA), i whai wāhi ki te kaupapa. E tautoko ana a DIANA i ngā hangarau hohonu e rua ngā kaupapa, tae atu ki ngā hangarau irahiko me te hangarau whakaahua, mō ngā tono arumoni me te tiaki. "He maha ā mātou whakarerekētanga whatu me ngā ara iahiko whakauru whakaahua ka whai hua mō ngā pūoko (arumoni) me te tukatuka raraunga," te kī a Krogstrop.

He mea nui, e hangai ana te pokapū hangarau POEM ki ngā mahi whānui a Ūropi ki te whakaiti i te whakawhirinaki ki ngā maramara o Amerika me Āhia. Waihoki, i Denmark, i haumi tahi te Novo Nordisk Foundation me te Danish Export Investment Fund i te €80 miriona ki te kaupapa QuNorth, me te whāinga ki te whakatū i te rorohiko kuantum o Denmark i te whakatupuranga hou. I te tautokona e te ture maramara a te EU, he maha ngā hononga tūmatanui-tūmataiti kua puta, me te whāinga ki te whakaneke rua i te wahanga o Ūropi ki te hanga semiconductor o te ao ki te 20% i te tau 2030. I te marama o Hūrae o tēnei tau, i whakaarohia e te Komihana o Ūropi he rautaki kuantum e uru ana ki te whakatū i ngā pokapū hoahoa kuantum me ngā raina whakaputa whakamātautau mō ngā maramara kuantum, me te whāinga ki te āwhina i a Ūropi kia noho hei kaiārahi o te ao i tēnei mara i te tau 2030.

I kī a Krogstrop, "I ēnei wā pōuri, ina kore tātou e tino mōhio ko wai tā tātou e whakawhirinaki atu ai, e hiahia ana tātou katoa ki te mana motuhake hangarau. He mea whai hua te whai (whare) maha i Ūropi, ā, he mea tino nui a POEM nā te mea kei te puāwai te mara o te photonics whakauru."

I tāpiri atu ia, "I tēnei wā, kāore he raina whakaputa i Ūropi e kaha ana ki te whakatutuki i te hiahia mō ā mātou mahi whakaputa rauemi STO me BTO e haere ake nei. Kei te whakawhānui ake hoki a Imec i Belgium i ana raina whakaputa. Ka tino whai hua tēnei kaha hou."

I te tirohanga whakamua, e matapaetia ana e Krogstrom ka mahi tahi te Pokapū Hangarau POEM me ngā whare hanga wafer 300mm puta noa i Ūropi. E tumanako ana hoki ia ki te mahi tahi me ngā whare hanga wafer 300mm i ngā rohe tawhiti atu, tae atu ki a GlobalFoundries i te US me TSMC i Taiwan, i roto i ngā wāhanga o te photonics matatau me te hanga taputapu irahiko. "Hei tauira, ka whai wāhi nui ngā hononga irahiko ina tīmata te hanga papatipu o ngā rorohiko irahiko," tana kī.

Nō reira, mai i tēnei wā tae noa ki te tau 2030, ka whakatapua te Tumu Whakarae o NQCP me āna hoa mahi ki te whakawhanake i te Pokapū Hangarau POEM hei pūnaha rauropi maramara matūriki me te maramara photonic matatau taumata-motu. "Ka haere tonu tā mātou mahi hei wāhanga o tētahi pūnaha rauropi (ao whānui), nā te mea kāore e taea e tetahi te mahi ko ia anake... engari ko tā mātou e tumanako ana kia nui ake te mahi tahi me ngā kaipupuri moni rerekē me ngā kamupene taputapu e uru ana ki te hangarau 300mm," te kī a Krogstrop. "Ko Riber te kamupene tuatahi ki te whakauru mai ki a mātou, engari ka hanga e mātou he (pokapū) nui ake mō ētahi atu kamupene kia haere mai ki te whakawhanake i ā rātou hua hou me ngā hangarau matatau."
