The 4000m2 facility increases imec’s cleanroom space to 12,000m2 and will play a central role in work to take IC technology beyond the 7nm node.
“Since our founding in 1984, imec has become the world’s largest independent nanoelectronics research centre with the highest industry commitment,” said imec CEO Luc Van den hove. “The extension of our cleanroom provides our partners with the necessary resources for continued leading edge innovation and imec’s success in the future within the local and global high-tech industry.”
