Successful Netherlands Innovation Webinar
HETEROGENEOUS INTEGRATION AND PHOTONIC CHIP INTEGRATION
Opportunities for Collaboration
We are happy to share that together we almost 100 participants we successfully held our Innovation Webinar on Chip-Integration activities in the Netherlands, last Thursday 16 February. This Event was part of a series towards strengthened bilateral high-tech partnerships, for government, business and innovation. It was also a pre-event to inform Japanese stakeholders on the 19-23 June 2023 Innovation Mission to Japan on Semiconductors, with focus on chip design, photonics, heterogeneous integration & equipment.
If you are interested to receive the powerpoint material of this webinar, or want to be on our mailing list for upcoming events, please contact Rob Stroeks.
Semiconductor technology is at the heart of innovative and digital developments in virtually every sector. It is therefore a key industry to bring about the digital and green transition. The Netherlands and Japan are indispensable to achieving these transitions, as they are two of only three countries active throughout the whole semiconductor value chain. Dutch and Japanese government strongly support efforts to further promote their position within the value chain and see the strengthening of their relations as an important part of this.
The Innovation Webinar was opened by Eric van Kooij, Counsellor for Innovation, Science and Technology, Netherlands Embassy in Tokyo, and complementary speeches by Patrick de Jager, Senior Director Research at ASML, and Hisashi Kanazashi, Director IT Industry Division, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). We were updated on recent activities about heterogeneous integration (prof. Bram Nauta, University of Twente IC Design Group), photonic chip integration (Dr. Jan-Laurens van der Steen, Photonics Integration Technology Center, PITC located in Eindhoven) and chip & heterogeneous integration (Dr. Marco Koelink, Chip Integration Technology Center, CITC located in Nijmegen). The Embassy wrapped up with upcoming activities and objectives.

PRESENTERS
Prof. Bram Nauta, University of Twente
Distinguished professor & Head IC Design Group, b.nauta@utwente.nl
Bram Nauta joined the Mixed-Signal Circuits and Systems Department of Philips Research in 1991. In 1998 he returned to the University of Twente, From 2016 until 2020 he also served as chair of the EE department of this university. His current research interest is high-speed analog CMOS circuits, software defined radio cognitive radio and beamforming.
University of Twente
The main subject of the Integrated Circuit Design education and research program is the design of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits, with a focus on CMOS Transceivers. Due to many contacts and research contracts with industry, and the part-time position of some staff members in industry, the industrial relevance of the research program and the knowledge transfer is high.
