Netherlands-Japan
DEEPTECH EVENT ON SEMICONDUCTORS

On Tuesday 20 June 2023, 14:00-18:30, a Netherlands-Japan Semiconductor Event was held at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo.

We live in the era of information. We want to be connected and we want things to be connected and work faster and for our information to be safe. The future of our information society is driven by exponential technologies in computing, communication and sensing which requires system solutions. These solutions should build upon cross-pollination between knowledge institutions and industries, with semiconductors, integrated photonics and quantum computing as a key enabling technology enabling disruptive innovations. With our strong proven position in semiconductors, integrated photonics, and quantum technology we aim to contribute to creating ever more knowledge and value for companies in a sustainable way.

The purpose of this Event was to introduce the ecosystems in both countries and facilitate discussions for collaboration in innovative ‘deeptech’ fields like chip design, photonic integration, packaging, quantum technology etc. The Netherlands is well known for its open innovation system, with ASML as one of its main examples. By looking at the system engineering in a horizontal way companies in the Netherlands are more collaborative and outward-focused. This opposed to Asian companies that tend to be vertically oriented with a more inward-focused. Dutch companies recognizes that valuable knowledge and ideas can originate externally as well as internally. Open innovation involves actively seeking and integrating external sources of innovation, such as customers, suppliers, partners, academic institutions, and even competitors. The goal is to tap into a broader network of expertise, leverage diverse perspectives, and accelerate innovation by accessing a wider range of ideas, technologies, and resources. Open innovation does not just happen, Dutch companies have acquired unique skills to enable this collaboration. Skills that they are willing to share with new trusted partners.

The event was part of the program of a Netherlands Innovation Mission to Japan visiting Japan 19-23 June, consisting of government, companies and research institutes.

The event started with an opening by the Delegation Leader Astrid Bronswijk, Manager Innovation & Knowledge of the Netherlands Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy (EZK), a complementary speech by Hisashi Kanazashi, Director IT Industry Division of the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), and an overview introduction of the Dutch Deeptech Ecosystem. After that, the Delegates, 15 companies and 5 research institutes, introduced their positions in the value chain, their activities and their ambitions in furthering relations with Japan. After the presentations there was time to interact with the Delegates in a Network reception (standing buffet).

Background

Chip Design
Chip Design is the second pillar of the Dutch semiconductor industry, after equipment. The Netherlands has established itself as a global leader in various fields, including Analog and RF Integrated Circuit Design, Quantum Computing, Integrated Photonics, Power Electronics, 5G/6G Technology, MEMS (Microelectromechanical Systems), Microfluidics, Nanotechnology, Sensor Interfaces, Smart Sensing, Edge AI (Artificial Intelligence), and Logic Design. These diverse areas converge in the realm of heterogeneous integration and systems. The Netherlands has a proven track record with inventions such as Wifi and Bluetooth. The chip design ecosystem in the Netherlands is a vibrant mix of prominent multinational IDM’s (Integrated Device Manufacturers) such as NXP, Nexperia, and Ampleon. Additionally, niche specialists like Axign, Altum RF and Methods2Business contribute their expertise. The country also boasts a flourishing community of fast-growing startups, including Axelera AI, Intrinsic ID, and Sencure. Moreover, the Netherlands benefits from a strong knowledge base supported by institutions like UT MESA+, TU/e EHCI, TU Delft, TNO, CITC and Holst Centre. These entities provide valuable research and development in the field of chip design.

Photonic Integration
Photonic integrated circuits have been a pillar of research and innovation in the Netherlands for the past 40 years. Building upon early successes in semi-conductor laser technology development for optical communications, the integrated photonics ecosystem has been growing ever since. The Netherlands prides itself of not only having two internationally recognized research centers around photonics (TU/e and UT), but also of having a vibrant industrial ecosystem including two pure play foundries for the fabrication of InP and SiN photonic integrated circuits (PICs). This unique combination of research and innovation has been at the heart of this growing ecosystem, led by Photon Delta, and has recently resulted in the awarding of a 1.1B€ research and innovation grant to the photonics ecosystem in The Netherlands. With these funds, The Netherlands is aiming to strengthen its global position in the photonics sector and is actively engaging with partners around the globe to promote PICs and their applications.
