More on Imec
Description from Wikipedia:
IMEC (Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre) is a micro- and nanoelectronics research center located in Leuven, Belgium with affiliated laboratories throughout Flanders. IMEC focuses on next generation electronics research, three to ten years ahead of industrial needs. The organization employs approximately 1,700 people. ==IMEC's mission==
To perform R&D, ahead of industrial needs by 3 to 10 years, in nanoelectronics, nanotechnology, design methods and technologies for ICT systems.
This mission is backed by 3 trends in the electronics industry:
More Moore – Scaling electronic devices and circuits will continue into the next decade; it will be driven by Moore’s Law, following the technologies described in the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS). CMOS will remain the main semiconductor technology platform in the foreseeable future.
More than Moore – Current CMOS processes can be used to develop new micro- and nanodevices with extended functionality such as sensors, MEMS, or NEMS. More than Moore technologies include heterogeneous integration, advanced packaging, 3D integration, biomedical electronics, autonomous embedded appliances, and photovoltaics.
Convergence of More Moore and More than Moore – Scientists envision an increasing need to combine higher performance (More Moore) with complex and extended functionalities (More than Moore). This convergence will impact IC design, processing, integration, and packaging. Further scaling will create new opportunities for heterogeneous integration—think of nano-bio convergence. But mastering the integration of complex nanoscale components will require disruptive methods. Leading players in complexity, such as IMEC, have a substantial advantage in the development of such future nanoelectronic systems.
