Samsung Electronics to Introduce Quantum Computing to Semiconductor Manufacturing

BlockBeats News, July 1st, according to the mainstream financial media SEDaily, Samsung Electronics is developing a technology to use quantum computers to simulate the core photolithography process in semiconductor manufacturing. This is a project aimed at integrating next-generation information technology to drive breakthroughs in semiconductor integration and yield.

The project is being developed by Samsung's system integration subsidiary, Samsung SDS, and is planned to start technology proof of concept (PoC) in the second half of this year.

It is reported that Samsung SDS is currently developing a quantum computer-based simulation algorithm that can virtually simulate part of the lithography process. The lithography process is a key step in drawing fine circuit patterns on a wafer using light, equivalent to completing a "draft" drawing before etching to form an actual circuit. Therefore, it is considered one of the core processes determining the quality, integration, and manufacturing yield of semiconductor products.
