Improving and Scaling up Semiconductor Manufacturing

About the event

UK registered organisations can apply for a share of up to £12 million to produce innovative solutions to improve and develop the manufacturing capabilities of the UK semiconductor industry. This call is funding projects, of up to a 12-month duration, that will have total project costs of up to £2.5 million (at the usual Innovate UK industrial research intervention rates depending on organisation type and size).

This CR&D call continues with the similar broad themes of the feasibility study earlier in 2023 but does not require previous participation in that study. The call is looking to:

• establish innovations and new manufacturing techniques across the semiconductor supply chain,
• encourage new collaborations across different areas of the industry, and
• develop closer ties with academia and industry.

The scope will cover a broad range of technology areas including:

• Manufacture, front & back-end processes, wafer and device fabrication, PDK development
• Silicon, compound, advanced materials, 2D, 3D
• Advanced packaging, hybrid, heterogeneous, SoC, SiP
• Assembly & test
• IP & design, DfM, DfA, Design for circularity and reuse
• Fabrication – operations & sustainability
• Supply chain

Please register to join the competition briefing to be held online on Tuesday 5 of December 2023.
