Welcome to the Czech Semiconductor Centre
We will grant you access to technical expertise and experimentation as well as help you to acquire and develop specific skills related to semiconductor industry in design and manufacturing
About Us
The specialization of the Czech Semiconductor Competence Centre, reflects the strengths of the semiconductor value chain in the Czech Republic, which are also mentioned in the National Semiconductor Strategy of the Czech Republic.
These are:
1) front-end chip manufacturing (production of microchips, circuits and transistors on semiconductor wafers) for power electronics, automotive and aerospace
2) tools for processor design including architecture licensing
3) tools for metrology
The CSC consortium comprises six members, with a balance between businesses and education institutions representing the semiconductors sector in the Czech Republic. The universities provide access to talent and ample research and education expertise. The two companies (onsemi, Codasip) together with JIC (an agency serving the needs of SMEs) and CNSC (a cluster association composed predominantly of businesses) will ensure that the interest of industry is kept at the centre of attention of CSC and its activities.
Together the partners bring the complementarity required for delivering the project goals by covering all the relevant aspects. The competencies offered by the consortium enable to a large extent to cover the needs of the semiconductor ecosystem not only within regions in the Czech Republic but also between Member States in the EU.
The complementarity of the competencies with other competence centres is demonstrated by the Common Statement on Competence Centres in Semiconductors issued by the Silicon Europe Alliance.
