OPEN ACCESS
FAMES Pilot Line
The FAMES pilot line offers European semiconductor stakeholders from industry, research, and academia access to a wide range of semiconductor technologies, including testing, PDKs, demonstrators and manufacturing capabilities.
FAMES technologies
Accessing the FAMES technologies can be done by two means:
- Submitting a spontaneous request for a custom project, to be reviewed by the FAMES consortium for feasibility
- Responding to FAMES annual open calls, which give users access to:
- PDKs (depending on their availability – expect the first PDK to be available in mid 2025)
- The FAMES technologies (FD-SOI 10 nm and 7 nm, embedded non-volatile memory, RF components, 3D integration) for evaluation
- Specific process steps, modules, integration flows, and demonstrator results
- Education and training on the FAMES technologies
This initiative aligns with the EU Chips Act to bolster the EU’s semiconductor industry and support European technological sovereignty. Collaboration with other pilot lines in Europe will help build a tightly interconnected European chip ecosystem.
Open calls
The first call will open on March 18th 2025. You will find the submission details on this page as soon as the call is open.
Discover the FAMES Pilot Line Workshops
Dedicated FAMES workshops will be organised to present the Pilot Line offers to potential users and to introduce the upcoming calls.
Upcoming Workshop – First Open Call – March 18th, Brussels
Come discover the FAMES Pilot Line and first open call at this event in Belgium and learn more about how the advanced technologies will serve a range of semiconductor markets and create new opportunities for growth, reinforcing Europe’s leadership in the industry.
This event is open to semiconductor stakeholders from industry, research, and academia.
