ASCENT

ASCENT (www.ascent.network) provides access to the world’s most advanced 14 nm and beyond-CMOS nanoelectronics data and test structures in Europe’s leading nanofabrication research institutes. The institutes involved have extensive advanced semiconductor processing fabrication facilities, flexible nanofabrication facilities, advanced electrical characterization equipment and expertise in atomistic and TCAD modeling. This is the first time that access to these state-of-the-art devices and test structures is available anywhere in the world. The impact of this access, and the resulting advances that will be made, will contribute significantly to competitiveness and growth capacity in the Europe’s nanoelectronics industry.
