The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay announced a strategic partnership with IT services major Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) to develop India's first Quantum Diamond microchip imager -an advanced sensing tool to test the quality of semiconductor chips.

The new sensing tool, to be built at IIT Bombay PQuest Lab by experts from TCS in the next two years, will help reduce chances of chip failures and improve efficiency of electronic devices.

It will enable better quality control of semiconductor chips, thereby improving product reliability, safety, and energy efficiency of electrical devices.
