Silicon photonics: piggybacking on decades of chip manufacturing experience

Luc Van den hove

Imec CEO Luc Van den hove looks back on a dark 2022 – but every cloud has a silver lining.

Blog

2022 saw nothing less than the advent of a global ‘polycrisis’.

Yet, society has also continued to take some important steps forward. Think of our victory over the coronavirus pandemic.

Obviously, much work remains to be done to turn this silver lining into a golden future for all of us. But according to Luc Van den hove, (international) collaboration will be key.

2022: A Dark Year with A Silver Lining

Imec CEO Luc Van den hove calls upon the world to work in unison and deliver as one

&nbsp;

Collaboration and internationalization have been the driving forces behind the chip industry’s gigantic strides forward.

The Chips Acts are the vehicle par excellence to take collaboration in the semiconductor realm to the next level.

Yet, according to Luc Van den hove, their promise is far greater than that: he could see the Chips Acts become the blueprint for addressing a myriad of other challenges society faces.

System-technology co-optimization: translating future system needs into technology requirements in a top-down approach

Vision

In this interview, Julien Ryckaert, vice president logic technologies at imec, explains why developing emerging technologies requires a system-oriented approach.

He illustrates how system-technology co-optimization (STCO) can complement design-technology co-optimization (DTCO) to respond to those needs.
