R&D of Quantum Technologies at NY CREATES
In this webinar, we will discuss the latest developments at NY CREATES in the scalable fabrication of quantum devices. We will highlight our work with superconducting materials such as Ta, Nb, Al, and their oxides and nitrides, detailing the painstaking work required to reformulate CMOS processes to those designed for quantum technologies, which have a wide range of application including in communications, quantum computing, sensing, data security, solid state electronics, nanotechnology, photonics, quantum circuits, advanced fabrication, superconducting digital logic, and superconducting optoelectronics neuromorphic computing.
With specific examples, we will illustrate how we leverage decades of learning from the CMOS industry, aiming to enable the fabrication of devices with tightly controlled performance characteristics. We will present the synergistic nature of our process development strategy, that advances a variety of quantum technologies at 300 mm wafer scale. These efforts are essential to establish a well-defined superconducting quantum process design kit (SQPDK) and facilitate the fabrication of quantum circuits that are faithful to designer intent, in a true ‘quantum foundry’ model. NY CREATES (New York Center for Research, Economic Advancement, Technology, Engineering, and Science) is a research and development entity in New York State that focuses on advancing innovation in semiconductor technology and other high-tech industries. It plays a significant role in fostering partnerships between academia, industry, and government to support technological advancements, economic growth, and workforce development. NY CREATES manages and operates several advanced research facilities, including the Albany NanoTech Complex, which is one of the most advanced semiconductor research facilities in the world. The organization works on a variety of projects related to microelectronics, nanotechnology, photonics, and other cutting-edge technologies, aiming to position New York as a global leader in these fields.

Ekta Bhatia, Ph.D of NY CREATES
IEEE STEM with NY CREATES
Biography:
Ekta Bhatia is a research scientist at NY CREATES in Albany, NY, specializing in quantum technologies since 2021. Her work focuses on fabricating 300 mm scale superconducting quantum circuits and single-flux-quantum logic circuits. Previously, as a post-doctoral researcher at the Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the University of Maryland, she explored loss mechanisms in superconducting microwave resonators to inform qubit design. In 2018, she was a visiting researcher in the Quantum Materials and Devices Group at the University of Cambridge, UK. Ekta earned her Ph.D. in Physics from the National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER), Homi Bhabha National Institute, India, in 2020. She has authored thirteen publications, holds a provisional patent, and has received accolades such as the JVSTB Young Author Award and the Reviewer of the Year award. An active IEEE member, she promotes diversity in STEM through the Women’s Innovation Network at NY CREATES.
