The Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU) is a pioneering initiative committed to catalysing research, development, and manufacturing capabilities across Europe. In this section, we delve into the key facets of Chips JU and its mission to shape the semiconductor future of the European Union.
The Chips Joint Undertaking (JU) supports research, development, innovation, and future manufacturing capacities in the European semiconductor ecosystem.
This activity aims at building a pioneering cloud-enabled European Design Platform that will aid users, particularly start-ups and SMEs, in accessing a wide range of advanced tools, assets and services to develop their chips. The Design Platform is expected to support the design of a wide variety of technologies, specifically but not limited to digital circuits at multiple process nodes (up to leading edge nodes); analogue; mixed-signal; power; photonics and quantum. The Design Platform shall also support back-end of line (BEOL) design and manufacturing through advanced heterogeneous systems integration and advanced packaging techniques.
The launch of the Call for Design Platform, includes two interrelated calls:
Only proposals successful in both interrelated calls will be considered for funding.
EU contribution as percentage of the eligible cost according to Digital Europe is up to 100%.
In practice, to cover the activities needed for a PCT, consortia would submit two proposals, one for each of the above-mentioned calls. Each call will have its specific admissibility requirements and eligibility, exclusion, and evaluation criteria, as outlined in Appendix 4 of the Chips JU Multiannual Work Programme 2023-2027.
