Semiconductor Pilot line for Industrial quantum NanoSystems

Objective

SPINS (Semiconductor Pilot Line for Industrial Quantum NanoSystems) aims to establish Europe’s first industrial pilot line for scalable, high-yield semiconductor quantum chips based on spin qubits. The project brings together leading European RTOs, foundries, startups, and academic partners to develop robust, standardized Process Design Kits (PDKs) and deliver Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) services for three mutually derisking quantum dot technologies: SOI, Si/SiGe, and Ge/GeSi. By leveraging existing investments in advanced semiconductor pilot lines and foundries, SPINS will enable a lab-to-fab transition, focusing on process optimization, statistical cryogenic testing, and high-throughput metrology to maximize quantum yield and reproducibility. The project’s two-phase approach begins with internal MPW runs and PDK development for this SGA, followed by open access for external users in an envisioned future SGA. SPINS will lower barriers for startups, SMEs, and academia, foster a vibrant European quantum ecosystem, and support the Chips for Europe Initiative. Key impacts include strengthening Europe’s leadership in quantum technology, enabling new business models, and accelerating the industrialization of quantum computing. The consortium is committed to open science and sustainable operation, ensuring broad dissemination, stakeholder engagement, and long-term sustainability of the pilot line beyond the project’s lifetime.
