Imec and Western Digital have extended their R&D collaboration in logic, memory, advanced patterning, and interconnect.
“Having Western Digital, a world leader in data storage technology, as as a full core partner brings unique and valuable knowledge to our research,” says Imec CEO Luc Van den hove (pictured) “the new three-year agreement confirms the industrial value and impact our R&D programs have on advanced semiconductor scaling. Through such strategic partnerships, we can continue to collectively tackle the scaling challenges posed by today’s fast-evolving, equipment-intensive, consolidating semiconductor landscape, thereby offering our partners the industry’s most advanced research infrastructure.”
“Imec’s unique research capabilities and deep ecosystem engagement sets them apart in the world semiconductor innovation,” says WD’s Dr. Siva Sivaram, “our collaborative work furthers Western Digital’s ability to expand the potential of current memory technologies as well as explore the promise of future, advanced semiconductor materials and processes that may hold the key to managing the data revolution.”
