Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
This project is to continue the current EUROPRACTICE IC4 Service.nnThe current EUROPRACTICE IC4 Service project, part of the 7th Framework and ending on 31 December 2010, is widely recognized as a world-leading service offering state-of-the-art CAD tools and microelectronics-based technologies to universities and industry. Today, through the EC funding of the EUROPRACTICE IC4 project, 650 European Academia (550 universities and 100 research centers) have access to this Service. Continuation of this project is considered indispensable as universities need to be able to renew their annual CAD licenses for continuing support of their research and training courses and need to get further IC prototyping services. In order to avoid a gap (waiting for the next call – possibly in 2011), this proposal is submitted now. As the budget for CSA activities in Call 5 is limited, the proposal covers only 1 year of full operation (2011).nnThe objectives are offering access to CAD tools for training and research, and access to advanced IC and MEMS technologies for prototyping.nnAs a broker, EUROPRACTICE negotiates low cost conditions with the most popular industry-standard CAD vendors for educational use and non-commercial research within the 650 European Academia. EUROPRACTICE has negotiated with several IC and MEMS foundries agreements to buy or share low cost MPW (Multi Project Wafer) runs in order to offer low cost prototype possibilities to universities and research institutes. New advanced technologies, such as 65nm and 40nm CMOS will be added to the portfolio of technologies as soon as those technologies become available and affordable.nnAlso discussions are going on with other European 'service' providers, initiated by EC funded projects, in order to make them available on a wider European scale to the existing network of 650 European Academia. As such, the IC service will be further extended with prototyping possibilities in selected MEMS-like technologies
