  1. IMEC and its DESICS division

  2. IMEC • Founded: January 1984 by the Government of Flanders • Largest independent microelectronics research center of Europe • Annual research budget (1999): 80 million $ • Personnel (1999): ± 850 people • 30,000 m2 facilities, incl. 6000m2 ultra clean processing area (1750 m2 class 1) • Close worldwide interaction with industry • Closely associated with universities and research institutes throughout the world

  3. MISSION STATEMENT To perform R&D ahead of industrial needs by 3 to 10 years in the field of ICT ! Based upon IMEC’s • strong Background Information • interdisciplinary teams • design, processing, packaging, micro-systems • worldwide networking • visionary research programmes

  4. Research - areas of concentration • Design of Integrated Information and Communication Systems • System-on-chip, MPEG-4, broadband wireless systems,... • Silicon Process Technology • Lithography, Cu & low-k back end, salicides, clean, dry etch, ... • Silicon Technology and Device Integration • Deep submicron CMOS, BiCMOS, NVM, reliability analysis, ... • Microsystems, Components and Packaging • Packaging, opto-electronic components, imagers, smart sensors and integrated microsystems, solar cells, ... • IC design training • Associated University Laboratories

  5. IMEC strengths / uniqueness : - Critical mass, multi-disciplinary teams - Focus on applications: Intelligent Access Terminal Wireless LAN Multimedia Image Compression - We go all the way: e.g. Ozone, Festival, ...

  6. Our IIAP programs Know-How Transfer Training IIAP on Wireless LAN IIAP on MPEG-4 (“White Box”-IP) (“White Box”-IP) Memory Optimization Mixed Signal Design IP Re-use System Performance Modeling IIAP on SOC++ HW/SW Co-design A/D Partitioning

  7. IMEC Industrial Window General scheme and concept BIx grows P1 $ ttm future R&D path of IMEC P2 P8 P3 P7 Background Information (in a specific R&D domain) (BIx) P4 P6 P5 Delegation of an industrial researcher to IMEC for a period of one year

  8. Conclusions: IMEC’s DECICS division is a center of excellence focussing its research on DESIGN TECHNOLOGY on the following applications: - Intelligent Access Terminal - Wireless LAN - Multimedia Image Compression We can help you to: - Optimize your algorithms and architectures - Decrease the power consumption of your systems - Speed up your time-to-market for complex SoC’s by our: - Object Oriented design environment - Memory management methodologies and tools - IP in DSP, Embedded SW, MPEG-4, OFDM, SDMA, RF, Memory management, MCM-D, MEMS, etc..
