QTREX Produces 1 Cryogenic Chip Carrier for Quantum Scaling, Expanding Into Processor Interfaces

2 articles · Updated · The Quantum Insider · Jun 18

Summary

  • QTREX said it successfully built a cryogenic chip carrier with its single-build additive manufacturing process from a design supplied by a major U.S. quantum computing company.
  • The carrier combines signal routing, shielding, dielectric structures and interconnects in one monolithic architecture, which QTREX says can cut connector-related failure points and support higher routing density at cryogenic temperatures.
  • Kapton-class polyimide underpins the design for very low-temperature use, targeting a key bottleneck as quantum systems add more channels and need tighter signal integrity, lower thermal load and repeatable manufacturing.
  • QTREX now plans customer-specific processor-interface designs for different quantum architectures and will show the sample in private meetings around Quantum.Tech World 2026 in Boston on June 25-26.
