ENHANCED POWER PILOT LINE

A sustainable and competitive European power semiconductor industry is essential to support the megatrend developments formulated in the Europe 2020 strategy – climate change; competitive, sustainable and secure energy; food security and health & ageing population. It is of paramount importance to defend and further extend Europe’s leading position in both power semiconductor manufacturing science(s) and the corresponding application domains.Thus, the ENIAC JU project EPPL will combine research, development and innovation to demonstrate market readiness by industrial implementation at an early stage. Second generation power semiconductor devices fabricated in European leading 300mm pilot lines are at the heart of the project, for which manufacturing excellence, cost competitiveness and challenging applications are critical boundary conditions. With this, to leverage the technical characteristics of power devices and foster the trend towards system-in-package integration, advances in packaging technologies become of prime importance. These aspects will be fully supported by this project right from the beginning.
