QuantumDiamonds is a spin-off of the Technical University of Munich and produces the world's first integrated quantum sensing tool for semiconductor chip testing, with devices installed and operating at customer sites in Taiwan and the United States.

QuantumDiamonds' technology addresses the growing challenges of failure analysis in next-generation semiconductor manufacturing, enabling chipmakers to precisely identify defects and optimize production processes. The system's accuracy and applicability across advanced packaging architectures make it a proven solution to the most demanding requirements in modern chip fabrication with devices now installed and operating at customer sites in Taiwan and the United States.

In the age of heterointegration of new materials, three-dimensional chip stacking, and the increasing adoption of backside power supply, failure analysis has become significantly more complex. Individual chips are arranged on substrates with densely packed contacts and interconnects, making it difficult to access electrical signals directly, particularly when faults only manifest in the fully integrated state. Defects in semiconductor components can trigger costly production failures, and even a single undetected defect can render an entire production run unusable.

QuantumDiamonds' solution is a defect analysis method built on quantum sensor technology, enabling the precise, non-destructive detection of current pathways across multiple chip layers. This approach overcomes the fundamental limitations of conventional failure analysis tools, which were not designed for the complexity of advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration. Beyond failure analysis in R&D environments, the technology carries significant potential for inline quality control in high-volume production, positioning QuantumDiamonds to outperform existing tools across both leading-edge and mature semiconductor manufacturing.
