KIT Chipdesign House is a European production facility

KIT Chipdesign House is a European production facility

From smartphones to computers to cars: fast modern technologies based on powerful microchips. The nachfrage is surmounting production in Germany dabei deutlich. Repairable repairers come from all parts of Asia in North America and offer good products with the microchips. A production in Europe that is carried out in Europe and in Germany as an innovation center for chip design, the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and Art (MWK) is now the Gründung des virtuellen Karlsruher Chipdesign House (KCH) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). These will be carried out on the KIT Campus South until 2027. The plant is a new master’s degree program.

“The Nachfrage nach leistungsstarken and effizienten Chips for the digital transformation are not yet available,” says Professor Mehdi B. Tahoori of the Institute for Technical Informatics at KIT. „Der meiste Umsatz wird dabei von Chip-Giganten außerhalb von Europa. Particularly in the energy crisis, while the electricity costs redevelop our production, no matter how large the imports are, beispielsweise in the Asian production of silicon chips.”

“It is urgently noted that production in Europe will in the future make a critical global analysis and increase digital sovereignty in Germany and Europe,” said Professor Oliver Kraft, in Vertretung des Präsidenten. “The KCH bundles the top research in the area of ​​chip design. The KIT is the right standard daffür with the expertise of the signaler.”

New study for more efficient fachkräfte

With the plants of KIT Chipdesign House (KCH), KIT can play a good role in the coordination of Chipdesign in Baden-Württemberg and can be implemented. I think that you can achieve a comprehensive training for specialists in Chipdesign. “I am KCH with a partner with an interdisciplinary master’s degree in Chipdesign”, says Professor Jürgen Becker from the Institute for Information Acquisition Technology of KIT. “There are no practical orientation points for workshops and presentations with experts and industry experts, which comprehensively demonstrate relevant specialist and operational skills. “

Stärkung von Chipdesign-Ökosystem in Germany

If the European Chip Act 2023 is approved in the EU, the European Chip Act 2023 will be suspended. “The European Chips Act looks like the Halbleiter production and the Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten in Europe zu fördern,” says Becker. “Innerhalb these ChipActs wollen met Kompetenzen und Netzwerke gezielt bundlen en erweitern. Die enge Verzahnung met der Industrie-bildet is one of the most important Baustein, another by the souls Ausbau der interdisziplinären Aus- und Weiterbildung in Chipdesign am KIT.”

The MWK has established the KIT Chipdesign House in the initiative BEGIN (step for: Implementation in European Large-scale Developments and Initiatives) with one million euros by 2027. (ase)

As “The Research University in the Helmholtz Community” purchases and improves the knowledge of KIT for Society and Environment. The soul is that the global reforms in the field of Energy, Mobility and Information have led to them. There are 10,000 units and units available on a wide disziplinären Basis in Natur-, Ingenieur-, Economic- as well as Geistes- and Social-wissenschaften zammen. Seine 22 800 Study results from KIT during a study at the university Studium on responsible educational institutions in Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft vor. The innovation staetigkeit at KIT is characterized by Swiss recognition and acceptance of the benefits, economic well-being and the support of natural living resources. Das KIT is one of the German Exzellenz Universities.
