As the global race toward sub-2nm technology accelerates, the NanoIC pilot line, coordinated by imec and backed by the European Chips Act, places Europe at the heart of next-generation semiconductor innovation.
This strategic initiative unites Europe’s top research and technology organizations. It speeds up the development of advanced system-on-chip (SoC) technologies and strengthens the region’s semiconductor value chain.
In an in-depth interview with SEMI, Srikanth Samavedam (senior vice president, semiconductor technologies and modules at imec) and Jo De Boeck (chief strategy officer at imec) shed light on NanoIC’s ambitions, challenges, and transformative potential.
They demonstrate how this initiative leverages Europe-wide collaboration to unlock new possibilities: from transitioning to gate-all-around (GAA) nanosheet transistors and developing breakthrough memory solutions, to advancing interconnects and chip integration.
