C12 Automates Pick & Place Nanoassembly to Standardize Carbon Nanotube Qubit Fabrication
Quantum hardware venture C12 has introduced Pick & Place, a patented nanoassembly process engineered to transfer single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) onto pre-fabricated quantum circuits with micrometric precision. The fabrication method serves as a foundational manufacturing block to decouple high-temperature nanotube growth from sensitive, sub-micron chip lithography layers. By adapting advanced semiconductor packaging concepts to the [...] The post C12 Automates Pick & Place Nanoassembly to Standardize Carbon Nanotube Qubit Fabrication appeared first on Quantum Computing Report .
The quantum computing sector is rapidly maturing, driving the need for standardized and scalable fabrication methods to move beyond prototype stages.
This development addresses a critical manufacturing bottleneck in quantum hardware, potentially accelerating the commercial viability and scaling of carbon nanotube-based qubits.
The ability to precisely place carbon nanotubes on quantum circuits decouples difficult growth processes from sensitive lithography, directly improving yield and enabling more complex qubit designs.
