PLASSYS-BESTEK

PLASSYS-BESTEK, founded in 1987, is a French company providing high-performance vacuum and ultra-high vacuum solutions for innovative thin film material deposition. PLASSYS-BESTEK is a recognized leader in equipment for quantum technologies, having designed top-level deposition tools since the early 2000s that are now central to manufacturing superconducting qubits and other quantum devices. The company supplies custom-designed systems for prestigious research laboratories, universities, and industrial manufacturing plants. In October 2025, PLASSYS-BESTEK delivered the SQUID-6 UHV, a state-of-the-art quantum chip fabrication equipment, to Alice & Bob as part of the ULTRACAT project supported by France’s defense innovation agency (AID). The SQUID-6 UHV is a fully automated, ultra-high vacuum deposition system employing a modular cluster architecture that minimizes chip exposure to cross-contamination, reducing material imperfections and guaranteeing high-quality Quantum Processing Units (QPUs). PLASSYS’s core technologies include vacuum evaporation (thermal/e-beam), sputtering, and ion etching, along with production systems for diamond growth via PECVD. PLASSYS equipment is vital for applications in semiconductor technology, superconductors, nano-electronics, optics, photonics, and spintronics.

2025 Developments: The company continues to advance its quantum hardware capabilities throughout 2025. Ongoing research and development efforts focus on improving qubit performance and scalability. The organization maintains active collaboration with research institutions and industry partners.
