What do key innovations such as autonomous vehicles, personalized medicine, 6G networks, robotics, and quantum computing have in common? They are all driven by the next generation of semiconductor technologies , including breakthroughs like systems-on-chip based on beyond-2nm logic nodes.
These innovations have the potential to catalyze the transformation toward a sustainable society while fostering employment and economic growth. It's no wonder that European policymakers consider them of strategic importance.
The European semiconductor ecosystem is expected to play a crucial role: collaborating to enable core technological breakthroughs, guiding these advancements to higher levels of maturity , and integrating them into cutting-edge products.
The European Chips Act supports this through pilot lines for advanced semiconductor technologies. These provide low-barrier access to the necessary infrastructure for R&D of new materials, process steps, and modules.
The pilot line for the development of beyond-2nm systems-on-chip (SoC), the NanoIC pilot line, is hosted by imec.
