Purpose

The project will support the integration and miniaturization of optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) technology on silicon to bring it to a technological maturity level that enables mass production compatible with the semiconductor industry. This one-year quantum sensor project is dedicated to de-risking this challenging technology transfer venture by directly addressing potential major scientific roadblocks, such as the impact of nanofabrication on sensitivity and to assess the technology readiness for a full transfer from the lab to the industry. In addition to miniaturization, the project aims to achieve a significant increase in sensitivity compared to commercially available products. The conclusion of this project will have a significant impact on research partners and the quantum industry in Canada as a whole.
