Special Action in Microelectronics for Italy: Support for the Use of Microelectronics by Italian SMEs

Cel

The Special Action for Microelectronics in Italy aims to:

- demonstrate to the largest possible number of SMEs the capabilities of ICs (particularly those based on advanced multifunction/high-speed technologies) and the opportunities they offer for developing innovative products in a wide range of application fields
- consolidate cooperation between academia and SMEs through encouraging the joint realisation of prototype circuits of considerable industrial interest.
A number of small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) will be trained and assisted in the design and testing of integrated circuits (ICs) as well as the spectrum of technologies made available through technology transfer actions.

The approach taken consists of:
dissemination of basic microelectronic technologies to inexperienced SMEs through seminars, training courses and workshops;
fabrication of several application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) demonstrators based on the use of advanced and flexible technologies by SMEs currently using separate components or circuits in their subsystems.
To reach these objectives, the Action draws on the experience and initial results obtained in the ESPRIT II Special Action I-SMILE (5085). The scope of this is now extended in terms of both the number of SMEs that will be trained and assisted in the design and testing of ICs, as well as the spectrum of technologies to be made available through technology transfer actions.

The approach taken consists of:

- dissemination of basic microelectronic technologies to inexperienced SMEs through seminars, training courses and workshops, in coordination with the activities planned within I-SMILE.
- fabrication of several ASICs demonstrators based on the use of advanced and flexible technologies by SMEs currently using separate components or circuits in their subsystems.

IMPLEMENTATION

The Special Action in Microelectronics for Italy is implemented, along similar lines, through two projects: MEPI (7500), focusing on SMEs in central and northern Italy and on the strengthening of Centres of Competence, and SUMIS (7517), addressing the particular needs of SMEs in southern Italy. In the execution of the work, the best use of resources is ensured through coordination and synergy of effort between the two projects, as well as through cooperation with the Italian National Research Council.
