pQCee Enters U.S. Public Sector Through Carahsoft Master Aggregator Agreement

Curated by · TechCapsules ·

AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication

pQCee Pte Ltd has signed a master aggregator agreement with Carahsoft Technology Corp., the leading U.S. government IT distributor, to sell its post‑quantum encryption software to federal, state, municipal, education and health‑care customers. Carahsoft will move pQCee’s suites through its reseller network and existing cooperative purchasing contracts, offering a drop‑in layer that implements NIST‑approved post‑quantum algorithms without replacing legacy systems. The partnership responds to Executive Order 14412, which obligates agencies to migrate high‑value assets away from vulnerable public‑key cryptography by set milestones. Because full architectural overhauls are financially prohibitive, agencies are seeking affordable, interoperable solutions that maintain operational continuity. Detailed procurement information is available on the Carahsoft pQCee Solutions Portal and in the company’s press release for immediate adoption today.

💡 Why It Matters

  • · Plugging a quantum‑ready encryption layer into existing infrastructure lets agencies meet federal deadlines without costly system rebuilds, fast‑tracking the nation’s shift to post‑quantum security.

Lam and imec Expand Collaboration to Advance Manufacturability of Next-Gen 3D Integration…

Lam Research and imec have deepened their strategic partnership to accelerate the manufacturability of next‑generation three‑dimensional (3D) integration and high‑numerical‑aperture (NA) extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. The expanded collaboration adds two joint R&D thrusts: developing processes for advanced 3D integration—including thick dielectric deposition, asymmetric stress compensation, bevel deposition, plasma dicing, and high‑aspect‑ratio memory structures—and advancing Lam’s Aether dry‑resist platform for high‑NA EUV patterning. Leveraging Lam’s deposition and etch expertise with imec’s integration and high‑NA EUV facilities, the teams aim to move innovations such as charge‑trap memory materials, low‑resistivity interconnects, and sub‑20 nm ruthenium direct‑metal etch from lab to high‑volume production. Early results have shown single‑exposure patterning of sub‑20 nm interconnects with 100 % electrical yield, underscoring the partnership’s potential to meet AI‑driven performance demands.

💡 By tackling the material and patterning bottlenecks that limit 3D chiplet scaling, the alliance could unlock the density and bandwidth needed for tomorrow’s AI workloads.
