Autonomous cars, smart medical implants, remote holography, ... All exciting future applications have at least one thing in common: they put new demands on our wired and wireless communication infrastructure.
To meet these demands, imec is working on next-generation connectivity technologies by innovating with novel semiconductor processes and across the system stack – from materials to circuits and algorithms – both in the analog and digital domains.
Watch the talk from imec expert Michael Peeters on the challenges of 6G pre-competitive research（https://www.imec-int.com/en/expertise/connectivity-technology/beyond-5g-technology/virtual-talk-enabling-6g）
We’re countering the low efficiency of CMOS when dealing with ultra-high frequencies through heterogeneous integration of III-V devices and advanced packaging to enable 6G. We enhance the accuracy and security of ultra-wide band and Bluetooth Low Energy through innovative algorithms and IC design, develop high-speed wireline. And much more.
