This project aims to develop an atomically-precise fabrication technique for the production of diamond quantum microprocessors through the pursuit of a novel bottom-up approach. This project expects to create significant new knowledge and capability in precision diamond growth, surface chemistry, electronics and characterisation, establish a long-term strategic partnership between Quantum Brilliance and the participating organisations, and enable the realisation of high-performance quantum microprocessors. These outcomes will potentially deliver Australia and Quantum Brilliance a profound advantage in quantum computing, thereby securing their positions in the emerging global quantum market and the associated economic and security benefits.Read moreRead less

Silicon low-pressure chemical vapor deposition facility:
This project aims to complete Australia’s first manufacturing line for nanoscale devices. It aims to establish a low-pressure chemical vapour deposition system to complete the existing silicon complementary metal-oxide semiconductor process line. It is currently impossible to fabricate many devices compatible with industrial manufacture, limiting device reliability and path to commercialisation. The tool is designed to incorporate four furnace tubes for growing thin layers of electronic materials, including polycrystalline-silicon, epitaxial silicon, and silicon-nitride. One unique aspect will be growth of isotopically-enriched silicon-28 that is essential for spin-based quantum computing. The tool would support a wide range of projects nationally in silicon micro/nano-systems, advanced photovoltaics, and quantum technologies.Read moreRead less
