The power of collaboration in Europe

Guilhem Delpu
Collaborative programs manager
RECIF Technologies

Abstract
Small and Medium sized Enterprises (SME) can sometime face problems to connect to the right stakeholders of the semiconductor industry and tackle the challenges they have to. Reasons such as protection of IP’s (among others) make that dialog can be difficult to establish between several parties around a common goal. We, in Europe, have multiple frameworks that simplify the set-up of basis for collaborative programs; this is a chance! Within such appropriate environments, all contributors of the value chain can find their interest around a common goal and major road blocks can be lifted. From RECIF point of view, as an SME, this is the power of collaboration in Europe! In its presentation, RECIF will provide insights of achievements obtained in its TSV-HANDY project, currently running under CATRENE framework. RECIF will also illustrate why such collaborative frameworks are key to maintain leadership of European stakeholders in a worldwide market.

Graphene Flagship

Jari Kinaret
Professor
Chalmers University of Technology

Abstract
In this presentation I will describe the Graphene Flagship (www.graphene-flagship.eu), which is a large scale, ten year research initiative funded by the European Commission together with the EU member states and associated countries. The flagship brings together a very large research consortium of academic and industrial partners from over 20 countries, who work together to take graphene and related materials from academic laboratories to society as new products and employment opportunities. I will briefly describe the project, its goals, evolution and results, with a focus on the electronics domain.

Hyb-Man: Hybrid 3D Manufacturing of Smart Systems

Rob van Asselt
Project leader
Philips Lighting

Abstract
The current way of mass producing consumer electronics products poses challenges to industries like Philips Lighting. New flexible hybrid manufacturing methods and 3D integration of electronics enable faster product realization, product customization and new products with improved design and performance. Moreover, the integration of functions will result in less parts and easier assembly, which facilitates local and on-demand product manufacturing. The successful implementation of hybrid manufacturing methods requires a wide range of competences and parallel development of technologies and markets for materials, processes, production equipment and products. Therefore we started the Hyb-Man project with the goal to develop hybrid 3D manufacturing methods to enable flexible first time right production of smart systems. Together with 11 partners from Germany and the Netherlands we will develop and integrate technologies for additive manufacturing, 3D electrical structures, assembly and interconnect. First time right manufacturing will be achieved by creating design rules based on understanding of product-process relationships and by developing in-line testing and quality monitoring as integral part of the complete production chain. In parallel we will develop two innovative product cases covering different applications and sectors (LED luminaires, automotive adaptive sensors) to demonstrate the hybrid 3D manufacturing approach.

ECSEL OSIRIS Project : Development of a European isotopic SiC supply chain

Stephane PIOTROWICZ
Research Engineer
III-V LAB

Abstract
OSIRIS project, a Research and Innovation Action (RIA), started on May 1st 2015. It aims at improving substantially the cost effectiveness and performance of gallium nitride (GaN) based millimetre wave devices. It proposes to elaborate innovative SiC materials using isotopic sources in order to offer thermal conductivity improvement of 30% which is important for SiC power electronics and microwave devices using GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMT) grown on SiC semi-insulating substrates. The improved thermal SiC properties will be obtained by using single isotopic atoms for silicon and carbon, namely 28Si and 12C. The SiC wafer size will be targeted to 100mm (4-inches) which is today widely used in industry. For microwave GaN/SiC HEMT, this isotopic approach should create a complete shift in the currently used SiC substrate/GaN epi-wafer technology by growing the high thermal conductivity (+30%) semi-insulating SiC on top of lower cost semiconducting SiC substrates. The project is also evaluating HEMT microwave power performance improvement at 30GHz thanks to better thermal environment. For power electronics, this innovation will be essentially focused on thermal improvement not on price fall, i.e. better electron mobility at a given power dissipation as mobility and drift mobility decrease with temperature and also better carrier transport thanks to lower scattering rates. Schottky and p-i-n diodes will be tested using this material. This project involves partners from France, Norway, Slovakia, and Sweden. This Consortium is very complementary and this work could not be realised without this collaborative work at European scale as no country would have on its own the different expertises required. The presentation will give an overview of the project outcomes including isotopic material, GaN epitaxy, processing, physical simulation, thermal assessment and device performances.

The European Quantum Technologies Flagship Program

Tommaso Calarco
Professor
University of Ulm

Abstract
Technologies are currently being developed that explicitly address individual quantum states and make use of the “strange” quantum properties, such as superposition and entanglement – commonly referred to as Quantum Technologies (QT). Europe has a well acknowledged world-class expertise, world leading in many areas of quantum science and technology. However, both commercialization of research results and the interest of large industrial players is less developed in Europe than it is in some other parts of the world. In the past, Europe has famously failed to capitalize on major technology trends and we should not miss the opportunity this time. The European Commission has therefore announced an ambitious, long-term (10 years) and large-scale (~1 billion EUR) Flagship initiative. The QT Flagship will be a coherent and well-aligned program consisting of research and innovation projects, which will be selected through peer-reviewed calls for proposals, based on the Flagship’s strategic research agenda. The calls will be part of the EU H2020 and FP9 funding programs; financing is expected also through national funding programs and investment by industrial partners. The Flagship will be structured along four mission-driven application domains: • Communication, to guarantee secure data transmission and long-term security for the information society by using quantum resources for communication protocols; • Computation, to solve problems beyond the reach of current or conceivable classical processors by using programmable quantum machines; • Simulation, to understand and solve important problems, e.g. chemical processes, the development of new materials, as well as fundamental physical theories, by mapping them onto controlled quantum systems in an analogue or digital way; • Sensing and Metrology, to achieve unprecedented sensitivity, accuracy and resolution in measurement and diagnostics, by coherently manipulating quantum objects.
