ANDERON AIMS TO INDUSTRIALIZE QUANTUM CHIP FABRICATION
Summary from the TLDR Hardware newsletter
IEEE Spectrum examines the up-to-$1B CHIPS R&D award finalized for IBM spinoff Anderon in September. IBM is matching that funding with $1B, while Anderon uses a 300mm Albany line and plans foundry services and process design kits for outside developers. The challenge is repeatable fabrication, including tighter control of Josephson junctions, rather than simply adding wafer capacity.
