Shaping tomorrow’s sustainable chips to systems

Kvanttinova is an industry-driven piloting and development hub that offers easy access to VTT and Aalto University piloting facilities for development of microelectronics and quantum technology. By uniting talent, technology and businesses, we help create leading innovations in specialised microelectronics and quantum computing.

We are an ecosystem for the future of chips and systems, we catalyse innovations and have fun while doing it.

Innovative circuit design and advanced materials are brought together to create new devices and products from technologies such as MEMS and MOEMS, RF components, integrated photonics, and 2D materials.

Why Kvanttinova?

Semiconductor chips are the building blocks of modern technology.

At Kvanttinova, the core of the infrastructure is the shared-use facility, hosted by VTT, which offers state-of-the-art equipment for chip development and pilot production on 200mm and 300mm wafers, bringing major benefits in improved reliability and repeatability of the processes.

To accelerate the development of novel, sustainable semiconductors, Kvanttinova brings:

  • Companies’ private cleanrooms
    Cleanrooms adapted to the needs of each company.
  • Advanced shared-use facilities
    New products development and scale-up towards mass manufacturing by using the piloting services and modern facilities.
  • Specialised R&D capabilities
    Benefit from more than 40 years of specialised microelectronics expertise present in the Otaniemi region of Espoo.

These three combined form a systemic innovation hub that will help you shape tomorrow’s sustainable chips to systems.
