European Chips Act (EUCA) and the FMD Pilot line “Advanced Heterogenous Systems Integrations (AHSI)”
The European Chips Act will reinforce the semiconductor ecosystem in the EU, ensure the resilience of supply chains and reduce external dependencies. It is a key step for the EU’s technological sovereignty. The Research Fab Microelectronic Germany (FMD) propose the setup of an Advanced Heterogenous Systems Integration Pilot Line (AHSI-PL), which offered to Europe´s microelectronics community the world´s most comprehensive chiplet integration pilot. The pilot line will encompass an unprecedented range of device technologies, materials, enabled by world class system design, interconnect- and assembly techniques as well as characterization, test, reliability and security assessment. Our mission is to establish and operate a pilot line, which offers to European industry including start-ups, SMEs, verticals, Integrated Device Manufactures’(IMD’s) as well as R&D institutions innovation capabilities through advanced heterogeneous systems, based on Chiplets and novel Advanced Packaging Technologies and will have an open access. The presentation gives a strategic overview about the foundation and participation in the European Chips Act.
