About this tag
The semiconductor research tag brings together reporting on emerging chip technologies, fabrication methods, and computing architectures. Covered topics include engineered phononic links for connecting distant germanium qubits, with a focus on possible wafer-scale quantum systems; high-bandwidth memory and processing-in-memory approaches aimed at reducing AI energy use and managing heat; advanced 3nm SRAM, electronic-photonic integration, and room-temperature quantum photonics; and ASML’s High-NA EUV system being installed at Albany NanoTech for research beyond current leading-edge process nodes. These discussions focus on designs, research findings, infrastructure milestones, and the technical challenges shaping future semiconductor performance and manufacturing.

    Germanium Qubits: Phononic Link Design Targets Wafer Scale — Megathread

    A new APL Quantum paper from the University of Warwick and Canada’s National Research Council outlines a way to connect distant semiconductor qubits using engineered vibrations inside the chip itself. The proposed Quantum Phononic Links, or QPLs, could offer a more fabrication-friendly route...
