Sviluppo di tecnologie a semiconduttori su nodi tecnologici a 110/150 nm per realizzare dispositivi allo stato solido integrati (Development of semiconductor technologies on 110/150 nm technological nodes to create integrated solid state devices). The aim of the project is to equip LFoundry with a series of technological platforms that will allow it to diversify its product offer in such a way as to be able to intercept new market areas and new customers..
_PRODUCTIVE4.0 - AMBITIOUS PROJECT WITH A UNIQUE MAIN OBJECTIVE
The main objective of Productive4.0 is to achieve improvement of digitizing the European industry by electronics and ICT. Ultimately, the project aims at suitability for everyday application across all industrial sectors – up to TRL8. It addresses various industrial domains with one single approach of digitalization. What makes the project unique is the holistic system approach of consistently focusing on the three main pillars: digital automation, supply chain networks and product lifecycle management, all of which interact and influence each other. This is part of the new concept of introducing seamless automation and network solutions as well as enhancing the transparency of data, their consistence and overall efficiency. Currently, such a complex project can only be realized in ECSEL.
_LIFE-BITMAPS - Pilot technology for aerobic BIodegradation od spent TMAH Photoresist solution in Semiconductor industries
The LIFE BITMAPS project will establish a pilot plant that will demonstrate a new and never-before attempted process for the treatment of effluents from electronics and semiconductor manufacturing. The project will contribute to the implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC by introducing more efficient treatment technologies that will help reduce Tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) pollution at source. By recycling wastewater, it will also demonstrate the application in practice of the circular economy priority of water reuse and savings in industrial processes See more at: www.lifebitmaps.eu
