Imec scales superconducting interconnects to 30 nm, eeNews Europe reports

Imec has scaled NbTiN superconducting interconnects—the wiring between circuit components—to a 30 nm linewidth, around ten times smaller than conventional niobium technology, eeNews Europe reports. The publisher says Imec also demonstrated circuits with a density of 3.8 million Josephson junctions per cm². Beyond future high-performance computing and AI accelerators, eeNews Europe describes potential applications in quantum systems, neuromorphic computing and photon detection.
