New Delhi, May 28 (PTI) IT firm Tata Consultancy Services has collaborated with Indian Institute of Technology Bombay to build India's first advanced sensor for semiconductor chips, which is expected to reduce the risk of chip failure and increase the efficiency of electronic devices. The company said Tuesday.

The collaboration between TCS and IIT-Bombay to develop a quantitative imaging platform for non-destructive screening of chips is a first-of-its-kind initiative in India, the companies said in a statement.

“The PQuest group at IIT Bombay is excited to collaborate with TCS to develop a quantum imaging platform for non-destructive chip screening, leveraging our extensive experience in quantum sensing to drive innovation electronics”, said Saha in the field of health and advancing India through pioneering technologies. »

The Quantum Diamond Microchip Imager can image magnetic fields enabling non-invasive and non-destructive mapping of semiconductor chips in hospital settings.

The imager uses defects in the diamond structure, called nitrogen vacuum (NV) centers, along with other hardware and software to detect and characterize anomalies in semiconductor chips.

“Our collaboration with IIT Bombay is fully aligned with the quantum sensing and metrology domain of the National Quantum Mission. We are confident that this initiative will have a transformative impact on a wide range of industries and society, with applications ranging from electronics to healthcare and beyond.
