imec adds to its cleanroom space to push beyond 7nm

Belgian nanoelectronics research centre imec has opened a new 300mm cleanroom. The cleanroom represents an investment of more than €1billion, of which €100million has come from the Flemish Government and the remainder from imec’s industrial partners.

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.”
