As part of the “IPCEI on Microelectronics and Communication Technologies” project, the European Union is supporting research institutions and industrial partners in developing sustainable, powerful data infrastructure. AT&S is involved in the project as a manufacturer of highly efficient substrates for the next generation of microchips. New research and production capacities in Leoben will play a decisive role in the modernization of the European microelectronics industry.

IPCEI ME/CT is a boost for Europe's microelectronics industry

"IPCEI" stands for “Important Projects of Common European Interest,” promoting strategic research and development for Europe's future economy. Experts agree that data is the new gold, and providing the necessary infrastructure for data processing, transport, and storage is essential for success.

High-performance microchips, memory modules, and communication networks are critical, driving the EU’s large-scale IPCEI ME/CT initiative. This project covers the entire value chain, from developing new materials and tools to improving manufacturing processes and chip designs.

Green technology in Europe

Advances in microelectronics are essential for energy efficiency and powerful data processing systems, crucial in the fight against climate change and for a sustainable global infrastructure. Emerging technologies like AI, faster mobile networks, autonomous vehicles, and quantum computing all depend on improved digital infrastructure. IPCEI ME/CT aims to provide Europe's top research institutions and companies with a competitive edge.

AT&S, in collaboration with chip manufacturers like Infineon and NXP, is developing energy-efficient microchip technologies at its Leoben site, aiming to reduce future processors' energy consumption by up to 75%.

High-tech miniaturization

AT&S will be working in the “Workstream: THINK” and the “Substrates@Europe” project, which are part of “Workpackage 2: Semiconductor Technologies, Manufacturing, Packaging & Test” of the IPCEI ME/CT. The goal is to develop highly miniaturized substrates that are capable of efficiently and reliably controlling and supplying energy to the transistors of the next generation of chips, which will be just two nanometers in size.

New virtual reality-assisted production processes will speed up and reduce costs for circuit design and manufacturing. Leoben’s new facilities will test innovative production methods, using real-time data, virtual twins, and cutting-edge machines for significant efficiency gains.

Collaborating with leading semiconductor companies and research institutions, AT&S is bolstering Europe's microelectronics ecosystem, providing new educational and employment opportunities. IPCEI ME/CT lays the foundation for a robust, transnational infrastructure, positioning Europe competitively in the global green computing race.
