Equal1 Validates Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor

Equal1, a pioneer in silicon-powered quantum computing, believes certifying a commercial CMO process is a quantum computing milestone

A commercial Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor method for quantum computing has been successfully certified by Equal1

A key part of this validation is the GlobalFoundries 22FDX FD-SOI platform's controlled creation of multiple tunnel-coupled quantum dots

Because silicon spin qubits are compatible with Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor technology and have inherent coherence

Equal1's quantum computing system uses commercial silicon, unlike others that use exotic materials and custom fabrication methods

According to Ted Letavic of GlobalFoundries, the encouraging Equal1 results show that GF’s crucial 22FDX technology is becoming more popular as a quantum platform

Equal1's discovery is part of a trend among silicon spin qubit firms to push semiconductor manufacturing boundaries to develop scalable quantum computing

Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor process in this sense refers to the fabrication of silicon-based quantum devices such as spin qubits and quantum dots using standard semiconductor manufacturing processes
