Pilot line on advanced sub 2nm leading-edge system on chip technology

This program broadly supports European entities committed to advancing semiconductor technology. It targets a wide range of organizations and aims to establish a cutting-edge pilot line for sub-2nm System-on-Chip technology, enhancing Europe's strategic capabilities in microelectronics.

Funding is provided for projects focused on the development and implementation of advanced sub-2nm System-on-Chip (SoC) technology. This includes core technological steps, crucial SoC-enabling process modules, and the delivery of next-generation equipment and materials.

This program offers significant grant funding to advance cutting-edge semiconductor technology. A maximum of 40,000,000 € is available for eligible projects, supporting large-scale, collaborative efforts in the pilot line development.

Key conditions for applicants and beneficiaries are outlined, emphasizing consortium-based applications, adherence to a fair and non-discriminatory access policy for the pilot line, and general requirements detailed in the Amended Chips JU Work Programme 2023.

The application process for this program was a single-stage submission, with specific forms and templates required. Proposals were evaluated based on criteria detailed in the program's work programme.

The funding program is legally established and governed by the Amended Chips JU Work Programme 2023 and operates under the broader framework of the EU Financial Regulation 2018/1046.
