RIBER receives order for epitaxy machine designed for photonics
The company says the new order, which is from a US-based quantum computing company, is a milestone for its ROSIE system that is designed for oxide layer growth on 300 mm silicon wafers
RIBER, a provider of molecular beam epitaxy equipment for the semiconductor industry, has announced a new order for a ROSIE system from a new US-based customer specialised in quantum computing.
According to RIBER, its latest development ROSIE is fully automated and compatible with 300 mm silicon wafers, and is designed for the growth of thin oxide layers, particularly barium titanate, a strategic material for the development of integrated electro-optic modulators.
Following the collaboration announced last June with the Novo Nordisk Foundation Quantum Computing Programme (NQCP) in Denmark, the company says this new order demonstrates both the technological credibility of ROSIE and the confidence in RIBER’s solutions.
While ROSIE’s commercial industrialisation is scheduled for 2027, this new order, aligned with RIBER’s strategic roadmap, already highlights the growing momentum in silicon photonics solutions, a critical enabler for the development of quantum technologies, the company adds.
RIBER is aiming to strengthen its position in integrated silicon photonics and confirm its ability to address the emerging needs of the next-generation semiconductor industry. The system is scheduled for delivery in 2026.
