Aeluma secures NASA quantum dot PIC contract
Aeluma, a Californian company that combines compound semiconductor nano-materials with silicon manufacturing, has been awarded a NASA contract to develop quantum dot photonic integrated circuits (PICs) on silicon to enhance optical performance in challenging environments.
The aim for the technology is to deliver high-precision, low-power solutions for applications in space missions and autonomous systems.
“This NASA contract is a significant milestone for Aeluma and reaffirms the groundbreaking potential of our quantum dot photonic technology,” said Jonathan Klamkin, founder and CEO of Aeluma.
He added: “We believe our collaboration with NASA will drive major advancements in critical aerospace applications and expand application possibilities in AI-driven systems, such as optical interconnects for data centres and high-performance computing.”
Secure Your Hydrogen Supply
A study supply of high-purity hydrogen is critical to semiconductor fabrication. Supply chain interruptions are challenging manufacturers, leading to production slowdowns and stoppages. On-site hydrogen generation offers a scalable alternative for new and existing fabs, freeing the operator from dependence on delivered gas.Plant managers understand the critical role that hydrogen plays in semiconductor fabrication. That important job includes crystal growth, carrier gas, wafer annealing, and in the emerging Extreme UV Lithography (EUV) that will enable new generations of devices. As the vast need for semiconductors grows across all sectors of world economies, so does the need for high-purity hydrogen.
