About the project
The APECS pilot line, coordinated by Fraunhofer Group for Microelectronics / Research Fab Microelectronics Germany (FMD), aims to bolster the European Union's capabilities in the semiconductor sector, particularly in the development of next-generation technologies for advanced packaging and the integration of diverse chip and chiplet technologies.
Impact of the project:
The APECS pilot line is expected to have a transformative effect on the European semiconductor landscape by offering a European prototyping and piloting option for advanced packaging and heterogeneous integration, as well as access to European advanced packaging technologies and prototyping, fostering European semiconductor value chain, community and skills.
