As chip designs become more compact, complex and vertically integrated, conventional tools are increasingly reaching their limits in terms of resolution, speed and non-invasiveness. QuantumDiamonds’ Quantum Diamond Microscope (QDM) provides high-resolution, wide-field magnetic imaging based on nitrogen vacancy centers in diamonds, enabling nanoscale current mapping within multilayer and heterogeneously integrated chips.

Professor Amrouch has deep expertise in semiconductor reliability, advanced packaging, high-efficiency AI processors and advanced CMOS technologies, making him an ideal partner for adapting QDM to future-proof diagnostic workflows for next-generation computing systems.

“Collaborations like this are exactly what we need to push boundaries,” said Kevin Berghoff, CEO and co-founder of QuantumDiamonds. “When cutting-edge chip design meets disruptive measurement technology, new opportunities arise. Not just technologically, but along the entire semiconductor value chain.”

The partnership supports shared goals in the areas of design-for-diagnosis, AI accelerator verification and scalable, non-destructive testing, which are critical to improving yield, time-to-market and confidence in advanced semiconductor systems.
