02/01/2008







IMEC officially established IMEC Taiwan in the Hsinchu Science Park. The firm, initially a representative office, is expected to grow into an R&D center within the coming months. The establishment of IMEC Taiwan follows several memoranda of understanding and collaborations between IMEC and leading Taiwanese companies, R&D institutes, and universities. IMEC intends to reinforce its collaborations in Taiwan by focusing on semiconductor process technology research, IC and system design, dedicated training, facilitating interactions between Europractice IC service and the Taiwanese foundries for low-cost IC prototyping and small volume production, and developing heterogeneous process technologies for fablite and fabless companies.
