Microelectronics

Microelectronics play a crucial role in all fields of innovation.
The ever-increasing demand for processing power, sensing capabilities and miniaturisation makes microelectronics the most innovative field of all.

For example:

Chipmakers are pushed to develop new and reliable processes that allow the integration of hundreds of millions (or even billons) of transistors onto a single microchip.

Analogue designers are challenged to build accurate circuits from clearly non-ideal transistors.

Digital designers face problems with regard to the design, layout and testing of highly complex circuits.

System designers must meet the requirements of application environments that are often multidisciplinary.
