Paving the way for the semiconductor future: The Chiplet Center of Excellence commences operations

    Dresden, Germany: Three Fraunhofer Institutes have launched a forward-looking research initiative in Dresden: the Chiplet Center of Excellence (CCoE). Its purpose is to partner with industry to drive forward the introduction of chiplet technology. Researchers at the CCoE are working on several fronts for the automotive industry, developing the first workflows and methods for electronics design, demonstrator construction, and the evaluation of reliability.

    “Chiplets will play a critical role in the global semiconductor industry in the years ahead because this technology offers the greatest freedom possible for customizing the design of electronics systems. This makes it all the more important for European industry to have a coordinated roadmap for the incorporation of chiplets into its own products,” says Andy Heinig, department head at Fraunhofer IIS/EAS and head of the Chiplet Center of Excellence (CCoE). “That’s why it’s essential for companies to be able to assess the feasibility of chiplet-based system solutions early on. For this reason, at the CCoE we take the wide range of requirements and constraints these products have and convert them into practical workflows and new evaluation processes.”

    The aim of the CCoE is to do all it can to support the competitiveness and technological sovereignty of strong European industrial sectors. For the first two years, the CCoE will therefore focus on applications in automotive electronics. These efforts will bring together a range of key partners all along the value chain – from car manufacturers to semiconductor companies. The Fraunhofer researchers want to provide these partners with methodological approaches, architectural concepts, reusable basic components, and roadmaps for the development, manufacture, and robust design of chiplets. In addition, the CCoE assesses a variety of chiplet solutions in terms of their performance, cost, and reliability. The research findings will flow into international standards and play a role in shaping a multi-vendor chiplet ecosystem.

    What sets the CCoE apart is Fraunhofer’s expansive portfolio in electronics development and manufacture, as well as the close interdisciplinary collaboration with industry. The CCoE is operated by the Dresden-based Engineering of Adaptive Systems EAS division of the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, the Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZM and its division All Silicon System Integration Dresden – ASSID as well as the Fraunhofer Institute for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS. Companies interested in participating in the CCoE’s pre-competitive activities and shaping its research agenda have until fall 2024 to sign up.
