technewstube.comDutch chip startup claims all-European fab flow – with help from a very American friend
Dutch semiconductor startup Qualinx is claiming a breakthrough of sorts in European sovereign manufacturing thanks to an end-to-end semiconductor fabrication flow it is using for its new satnav chips. The firm, a spin-off from Delft University of Technology, says it has demonstrated that security-critical chips for aerospace, defense, and critical infrastructure can be designed, manufactured, and delivered entirely within Europe. Tape-out of the…
The Delft-based startup Qualinx claims to be the first company to produce chips via a fully European supply chain. The company does this at the German factory of the American GlobalFoundries. According to the companies, this demonstrates that chips for defense and critical infrastructure, for example, can be designed, produced, and delivered entirely within Europe.
Delft-based chip designer Qualinx has become the first European company to establish a fully European chip production chain. The company's chips are produced in Dresden at a GlobalFoundries factory, a spin-off of the equally American AMD. "Together with GlobalFoundries, we have demonstrated that a chip production chain fully anchored in Europe is no longer a dream, but a reality," Tim Allemeersch, Senior Director of Customer Success, told BNR.
