The Flemish Minister of Innovation, Ingrid Lieten, has announced to invest in the building of imec's 450mm clean room facilities. Imec strives to keep playing a world-leading role in research on the most advanced semiconductor processes and technologies. With the combination of a state-of-the-art 300mm clean room and the transition to 450mm, imec will be able to keep on delivering its partners topnotch research on (sub)-10nm devices enabling the future growth of the global nanoelectronics industry.
To secure the future of the semiconductor industry in Europe, Europe must play a leading role in R&D on processes and systems on 450mm uyhstm.
