In Twente we can make an important contribution to the ambition of new generation chips. Especially in Twente we can do that. After all, the breadth and combination of (enabling) technologies such as electronics, photonics and microfluidics is a major challenge. How can we optimally combine analogue and digital signals? How can we use the knowledge and experience in electronic chips for the further development and application of photonic chips? How can we stack electronic, photonic and microfluidic components into a single design, so that, for example, we can use the screen of our smartphone as a high-speed corona test? Or how can we use electronic chips embedded in labels to predict the shelf life of food by measuring temperature changes; use photonic devices to look inside the food to see how ripe it is; and use microfluidic systems to measure vitamin content and then use the computing power of electronic chips to send the food to the right processor based on that information? It is particularly from the combination of different technologies that innovation emerges and that we can contribute to social challenges.
3 Chip Tech Twente ambitions
To realise this ambition, action and investment power are needed. That is why we are focusing on three priorities in Twente:
- Continued investment in electronic chip design
- Research programme for integration heterogeneous systems
- Future vision on realisation of heterogeneous fab
Below you will find an explanation for each ambition line.
