The Commission launched the European Alliance on Processors and Semiconductor technologies in July 2021. From smartphones to 5G to the Internet of Things and beyond, processors and semiconductor technologies are crucial for a successful Digital Decade. 

The overall objective of the Alliance is to to identify current gaps in the production of microchips and the technology developments needed for companies and organisations to thrive, no matter their size. This will help the competitiveness of companies, increase Europe’s digital sovereignty and address the demand for the next generation of secure, energy-efficient, powerful chips and processors.

The Alliance will enhance and foster collaboration across existing and future EU initiatives. It will help to provide the EU with the necessary capabilities in semiconductor technologies to power its critical digital infrastructure and communication networks. And, it will support a range of sectors and technologies, including automotive, industrial automation, healthcare and AI-enabled systems.

This translates in 2 main lines of actions, addressing the main gaps Europe is facing:

  1. The reinforcement of the European electronics design ecosystem. This includes design at leading-edge nodes and open-source hardware solutions, which will help develop powerful and resource efficient processors.
  2. The establishment of the necessary manufacturing capacity. This includes assembly testing and advanced packaging, by a mix of local and global players, to produce the next generation of trusted processors, electronic components and technologies. This will translate into a twin track to be developed in parallel: moving Europe towards producing technologies from 16 nanometres (nm)  to 10 nm, as well as from 5 nm to 2 nm and beyond. These most advanced type of semiconductors which, in addition to performance increases, have the potential to cut massively the energy used by everything from phones to data centres.

Who can join and how

Any organisation with relevant existing or planned activities in the area of processor and semiconductor technologies, including end-user companies, associations, and research and technology organisations, can join the Alliance. They can do so by signing the Declaration and filling in the application form provided they meet the eligibility criteria set out in the Terms of Reference.

Background

The Alliance will strengthen cooperation amongst actors in the EU to deliver more secure and competitive solutions in processor and semiconductor technologies. It will focus on the development of  energy-efficient powerful components that are critical to ensure security, data protection and the competitiveness of EU businesses and citizens’ services.

Processors and semiconductors are key enabling technologies for the emerging critical applications of data-processing, communications, data-infrastructure, cloud, advanced computing and AI.  Semiconductors are classified as dual use technology. They are key to critical infrastructure, such as energy and communications and the EU’s internal and external security, including defence and space.

Dienvidkoreja un Eiropas Komisija 2023. gada jūnijā izveidoja Korejas un ES digitālo partnerību, lai uzlabotu sadarbību un ekonomikas noturību digitālajā jomā. Cenšoties stiprināt saites, abas puses Briselē sasauc Dienvidkorejas un ES pusvadītāju pētnieku forumu.

PRESS RELEASE |
ES investē 216 miljonus eiro pusvadītāju pētniecības un inovācijas veicināšanai

Kopuzņēmums “Pusvadītāji” (kopuzņēmums “Mikroshēmas”) šodien paziņoja par 216 miljonu eiro izsludināšanu uzaicinājumos iesniegt priekšlikumus, lai atbalstītu pētniecības un inovācijas iniciatīvas pusvadītāju, mikroelektronikas un fotonikas jomā. Šis paziņojums seko pirmajai kārtai, kurā tika izsludināti uzaicinājumi iesniegt inovatīvas izmēģinājuma līnijas, par kurām 2023. gada novembrī tika paziņots un kuras nodrošināja ES finansējumu 1,67 miljardu EUR apmērā.
