Project description
A cool solution for quantum, high-performance and space computing
Advances in computing and electronics have made them essential to most scientific and industrial applications. Now quantum technologies, especially quantum computing, is further accelerating this growing dependency. Unfortunately, electronics hardware and high-performance computing require efficient cooling solutions. These need to be constantly improved to match increasingly intense systems, particularly when used in space applications. The EIC-funded COOL-CHIPS project aims to provide a solution for the rapidly growing computing market, offering a 100-fold increase in efficiency in comparison to current alternatives. This solution would be manufactured within a European foundry, providing Europe with a key advantage in both market entry and innovation in computer cooling and cryogenics.
Objective
Cool-Chips project focuses on the commercialization of SemiQon's revolutionary cryogenic CMOS product, designed for the burgeoning quantum, space-electronics hardware and high-performance computing markets. Valued at over 1 billion euros and projected to grow 100 times in the next decade, these markets will benefit greatly from SemiQon's proprietary solution, which offers a 100-fold increase in efficiency over existing technology. This positions SemiQon as a trailblazer in a field dominated by industry giants like INTEL and TSMC. Additionally, SemiQon's agile operational model, which includes in-house manufacturing within a European foundry hosted by an RTO, provides a unique advantage for early market entry and the potential to outpace competitors, establishing it as a groundbreaking European leader in the cryogenic CMOS domain.
