About
Infineon Technologies is an emerging dominant supplier of ion trap chips for the trapped-ion quantum computing industry. The Austrian semiconductor company manufactures ion traps at its Villach fabrication facility for leading companies including Alpine Quantum Technologies (AQT), eleQtron, and previously Oxford Ionics, bringing industrial-scale semiconductor manufacturing to quantum hardware. Infineon is also developing cryogenic control electronics and integrated optics for quantum systems, positioning itself as a key infrastructure provider for trapped-ion quantum computing. Its role is analogous to TSMC in classical semiconductors, offering foundry services that let quantum hardware companies scale their manufacturing. The company's quantum work draws on decades of experience in precision semiconductor manufacturing, MEMS technology, and power electronics. In May 2025, Infineon partnered with the Swiss ion-trap startup ZuriQ on trapped-ion chips, and in April 2026 it joined the EU CHAMP-ION, SUPREME, and SPINS quantum pilot lines as a core industrial partner.
