The Chips Act aims to fund ‘first of a kind labs’. A lab for heterogeneous systems fits in with this European ambition. Since heterogeneous chips are in an early phase of development, we see in Twente an excellent opportunity for pilot manufacturing these heterogeneous chips. We have the ambition to grow towards large-scale production. With the MESA+ Nanolab, we have experience with good cooperation between science and industry in the cleanroom. We want to use this experience to take the next step and set up a foundry where electronic, photonic and soon also heterogeneous systems can be produced. In Twente, we believe in challenge-based innovations, close to the market, but always at the forefront of what is scientifically and technically possible.
