Throughout Europe, there is a shortage of holistic value creation processes for Morethan- Moore technologies. This is where the “ADMONT” project comes in: it will merge various competencies and technical equipment in this sector in the Dresden area in a single design and manufacturing center. The goal is to establish a distributed pilot line for products and services – from ultrahigh voltage technology and advanced sensors and MEMS to OLEDs and the 2.5D and 3D integration of ICs. System integrators from all over Europe will be able to use either individual modules or entire production lines for the development of their applications. Due to the local proximity of the individual modules in the pilot line, users can benefit from short throughput times and fast production processes. The project partners from industry and research are therefore creating an offer for pioneering developments, such as from the areas of medical technology, mobility, or intelligent production.

The pilot line unites, among other processes, basic CMOS processes of the project coordinator X-FAB with technologies for sensor and MEMS devices from Fraunhofer IPMS as well as options offered by Fraunhofer FEP for OLED-on-CMOS integration and Fraunhofer IZM-ASSID for 2.5D and 3D integration for a unique, holistic process flow. It is important to cover the broadest possible process variety while ensuring a high level of reliability and robustness of the resulting products. For this purpose, automatically created models from Fraunhofer IIS / EAS in particular should help; these can be integrated into simulations with typical design environments of IC designers.

ADMONT is financially supported by the European Commission as well as the participating member states. The national funding for Saxon project partners is divided equally between the federal government and the Free State of Saxony.
