Business European Nanoelectronics Forum: We Must Collate RD And Restore European IC making, says Imec CEO.
2013/11/28A call to co-ordinate microelectronics R&D and restore Europe’s IC manufacturing prowess was made this morning by Luc van den Hove, CEO of Imec at the European Nanoelectronics Forum in Barcelona.
“Now is the time for action to collate our strengths and stimulate cross-border collaboration,” said van den Hove, “the next phase of CATRENE should help co-ordinate this strength across Europe.”
“We have lost leadership in manufacturing,” added van den Hove, “in the last ten years the amount of chips produced in Europe has decreased dramatically and the spend on capital equipment by European companies is at an all-time low.”
van den Hove praised Neelie Kroes’ initiative to revive semiconductor manufacturing in Europe and restore the value chain of the European electronics industry.
“We have tremendous strengths in Europe but we need partnerships because the challenges are so great, ” said van den Hove, “we need a co-ordinated and coherent R&D platform and it needs to be worldwide.”
“We already work together with LETI and Fraunhofer and if we succeed in pulling in some of the other R&D groups we can form something even more powerful,” said van den Hove, ” we have to get the best brains together to tackle the key societal challenges.”
The challenges are in healthcare, automotive, communications, energy and industrial.
The Chairman of Fraunhofer, Professor Hubert Lakner, was in full agreement with van den Hove.
“Working with LETI and Imec we can meet the targets which Neelie Kroes has set,” said Professor Lakner, “we are ready for the Airbus of Chips – we have to manufacture in Europe or we will lose these competencies.”
