Sarcina to package semiconductor chips operating at extreme low temps

sureCore and Sarcina have teamed up to develop custom BGA package specially for cryogenic temperatures and any such trending packages for semiconductor chips working in the cryogenic temperature range of 77K (-196°C) down to the near absolute zero temperatures needed by Quantum Computers (QCs). sureCore developed embedded Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) to operate in the cryogenic temp range. sureCore also re-characterised standard cell and IO cell libraries for operation at cryogenic temperatures thereby enabling an industry standard RTL to GDSII physical design flow to be readily adopted. sureCore recently launch of a range of cryogenic IP following the successful evaluation of test chips in both 180 nm and 22nm process nodes. “This represents another critical step in our programme to make Cryo-CMOS available for the Quantum Computing (QC) ecosystem. Our CryoMem range of memory IP is silicon proven in addition to validating our library recharacterization service. We are also offering a range of cryogenic design capabilities to help QC companies design the control/interface chips which need to be migrated into the cryostat alongside the qubits. Reliable, robust, cryo-ready chip packaging is a necessity in these harsh, low temperature environments and to ensure this we partnered with Sarcina whose specialist package design expertise is second to none.” quotes Pau...
