The Future of Chips
果冻传媒 ranks among the very best internationally when it comes to research on the development of new and advanced equipment, initiative chip design processes, and materials. 果冻传媒鈥檚 ability to bring these aspects together is renowned in the semiconductor field.
To enable the future digital revolution, we need to design and manufacture chips that can handle the heavily increasing amount of data and attract highly skilled talent, among many other things. These 鈥榝uture chips鈥� could well originate in the Brainport region, one of the most relevant semiconductor ecosystems in the world.
Chips
We at 果冻传媒, belong to the international top in the field of semiconductor research and we are world-leading in chip design. Our expertise on creating chips and our pioneering scientific research on this topic is one of the cornerstones of future heterogenous integration of chips.
We are leading in InP on silicon heterogeneous integration, including InP membrane on silicon technology (IMOS) and micro-transfer printing of InP components/coupons on silicon and silicon nitride PICs. Next to this we are at the forefront of developing multi-chip heterogenous beamsteering antenna systems for 6G wireless communications in which several technologies come together in heterogenous components.
果冻传媒 is also leading in the research of novel materials (phase change, 1D/2D materials) from both fabrication & characterization and device modeling & simulation. We also invest in research on quantum circuit design on superconducting qubit devices and silicon SET. Furthermore, we develop novel computing paradigms i.e., neuromorphic computing, analog computing and edge computing with merging of AI.
Materials & Processes
We are one of the leading groups in the so-called atomic scale processing segment. This involves the preparation and patterning of extremely thin nanolayers and nanostructures. The methods are mostly atomic layer deposition, atomic layer etching and area-selective deposition.
The materials systems range from oxides, nitrides, metals and sulfides (in particular 2D materials). The methods and materials we work on are key for leading-edge applications in advanced logic, memory, power electronics, integrated photonics and quantum devices.
With our research we link equipment, materials and processes and (leading-edge) applications.
Equipment
果冻传媒 ranks among the very best internationally when it comes to research on the development of new and advanced equipment. Together with our partners we created a common roadmap on equipment in which heterogeneous integration plays an important role.
As a research institute 果冻传媒 focusses on technology and methodology to push equipment performance (productivity, accuracy) and to improve cost and engineering efficiency. The expertise of 果冻传媒 and our partners involves mechatronics (opto-mechatronics, cryo-mechatronics), control (embedded control, contamination control, e.o.) and methodology expertise like digital twinning, multi-physics modelling and simulation.
Our state-of-the-art facilities
Some of these in-house developed test facilities have been designed and built by our own technicians. The fact that we have a very strong technical team, able to do this is at such a sophisticated level is also rather unique.
International Ecosystem
Within a 200km radius of 果冻传媒 we have a unique regional ecosystem which offers a combination of semiconductor equipment manufacturers, OEMs like ASM and ASML and integrated device manufacturers, IDMs like NXP. It also involves a wide range of other innovative companies, organizations regarding lasers, sensors, design, manufacturing and packaging of (photonic) chips.
This regional ecosystem, including The Brainport region entails many research institutes, start-ups, spin-offs and incubators, like Imec, PITC, HighTechXL and PhontonDelta. Also, in the groundbreaking research of novel materials and quantum circuit design this international ecosystem allows us to push boundaries.
Now that the world is investing heavily in semicon, it is important that we, - research institutes, governments and industry 鈥� ensure that the Brainport region is and remains one of the most relevant semicon ecosystems in the world.
As a university, we will contribute to this in various ways; by maintaining and strengthening our top position in semicon research, by building a bridge between science and industry, and by training the much-needed talent. Like we have been doing for the last 40 years.
