Semiconductor research program
Philips Electronics will participate as a core partner in IMEC's sub 45 nm research programs. IMEC is an independent semiconductor research organisation specialising in the development of semiconductor process technologies at geometries of 45 nm and beyond. Research will start on 200 mm and gradually transition to 300 mm.
In preparation for this partnership, IMEC is building a silicon research facility alongside the existing IMEC premises in Leuven (Belgium). The new facility will house a clean room and is ready for equipment installation in 2004.
