The Chips for Europe Initiative supports the strengthening of technological capacity and innovation in the European Union. The initiative includes pilot lines for low-power transistor technologies below 10 nm, leading-edge node technologies below 2 nm, heterogeneous system integration, advanced integrated photonic circuits, and wide band-gap materials.
It also supports pilot lines for integrated photonics technologies and for FD-SOI (Fully Depleted Silicon-On-Insulator) technologies, with dedicated efforts focused on the development of quantum chips.
In addition, the Initiative establishes a large-scale design platform to facilitate research, development, testing, experimentation, and validation of new technologies, as well as a network of competence centres across all Member States, aimed at providing training, expertise, and access to infrastructure for industry and academia.
These new infrastructures will be open to EU stakeholders, large or small, from industry or research, including designers and SMEs, across a wide range of vertical sectors.
