Today most innovations in the major industries include the use of dedicated chips. However, extremely high IC fabrication costs and foundries accepting only orders with high quantities are substantial obstacles for innovations developed from SMEs, start-ups, universities and research organisations.
The solution is that many of these innovators team up and share a fab run by using the opportunities offered by Multi Project Wavers (MPWs). European service providers like Europractice and CMP provide the access to MPW runs as well as the required know-how and tooling.
In the tutorial part of this session first-time users as well as experienced users will be provided with comprehensive information about the available semiconductor technologies, new design methodologies and possible applications. In the best practice part of the session users of such services will share their experience with the MPW concept with the audience and present projects and products realized by utilizing MPW opportunities.

As one of the main networking opportunities during the DATE week, the DATE Party states a perfect occasion to meet friends and colleagues in a relaxed atmosphere while enjoying local amenities. It will take place on March 11, 2015, from 19:30 to 23:00 in the renowned "Musée de Grenoble" (Grenoble Museum). This painting museum features a unique collection of ancient, modern and contemporary art including major masterpieces of classical Flemish, Dutch, Italian and Spanish painting and all the great pot-1945 contemporary art-trends, right up to the most recent artwork of the 2000s. During this evening, you can enjoy the famous French Cuisine and outstanding wines. Discover the region of the French Alps through ist cheese and wine specialties. The dinner will be accompanied by jazz songs and instrumental music from Anna Cruz and her vocal band. Another highlight will be the show waders "THE INSEPARABLES", sweet and ephemeral characters walking through the premises, releasing dreams and laughter. Furthermore, at the very beginning of the evening, from 20h00 to 21h30, you will have the opportunity to visit parts of the permanent collection of the museum (ninetieth and twenties century). Please kindly note that it is not a seated dinner. All delegates, exhibitors and their guests are invited to attend the party. Please be aware that entrance is only possible with a valid party ticket. Each full conference registration includes a ticket for the DATE Party (which needs to be booked during the online registration process though). Additional tickets can be purchased on-site at the registration desk (subject to availability of tickets). Price for extra ticket: 60 € per person. How to get there: The tram B has a stop called "Notre Dame Musee". That stop is next to the Museum. Attendees would take the tram A from Alpexpo and change for Tram B in one of the stations between "Gares" and "Maison du Tourisme" to get to the museum. The trip takes about 30 minutes. |
