Keep pulling the thread on Barium Titanate.
Sinlon produces 300mm Barium Titanate (BTO) wafers designed to be compatible with existing silicon technology platforms.
The performance of Sinlon's single photon quantum computer is critically dependent on the precise composition ratio and crystal structure of its thin films.
Sinlon sends its proprietary films to GlobalFoundries for integration into a large-scale silicon technology manufacturing line.
The walls of the Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) chamber are cooled to between -10 and -20 degrees Celsius to prevent evaporated metal from bouncing back and contaminating the wafer film.
Sinlon's manufacturing process involves growing thin films of strontium titanium oxide and barium titanium oxide on top of a bulk crystalline silicon substrate.
The crystalline films grown by Sinlon have a thickness ranging from a few nanometers to a few hundred nanometers.
The molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) equipment used by Sinlon operates at a very high vacuum level of 10^-10.
Sinlon is designing its manufacturing process and cleanroom protocols to meet the stringent contamination and defectivity requirements of standard silicon technology lines.
Sinlon's facility includes a Class 1000 cleanroom and a Class 100 cleanroom.
The final integrated wafers Sinlon receives from GlobalFoundries contain a layer of Barium Titanate that was manufactured at Sinlon's facility.
Sinlon sources its raw materials from several suppliers, most of which are located in the United States.
Sinlon is currently single-sourced for a key raw material and is actively working to qualify additional vendors to mitigate supply chain risk.
