SEEQC and ITRI to Build Superconducting Chip Manufacturing Line

SEEQC has partnered with Taiwan's Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) to construct a manufacturing line for its Single Flux Quantum (SFQ) superconducting control chips, announced in a press release. The facility will support SEEQC's digital quantum computing platform by expanding production capacity for advanced superconducting electronics.

The partnership will begin with technology transfer and process development, with SEEQC's research team providing technical expertise during the build. Chips produced in Taiwan will be shipped to SEEQC’s U.S. headquarters for integration with qubits and testing in cryogenic environments.

The SFQ control chips operate at low temperatures to handle timing, readout, multiplexing, and error correction with minimal power consumption and latency. This manufacturing expansion complements SEEQC’s existing facility in New York and aims to provide a diversified supply chain for superconducting electronics.

The increased production capacity will also support SEEQC’s ongoing collaborations with NVIDIA, IBM, and the UK’s National Quantum Computing Centre under programs such as the DARPA Quantum Benchmarking Initiative.
