Partner in the spotlight: Tyndall National Institute powers materials research and skills development

Partner in the spotlight

The NanoIC pilot line continues to grow its capabilities thanks to strong partner collaborations across Europe.

One key contributor, Tyndall National Institute, offers deep expertise in simulation, materials processing, metrology, characterization, and fabrication, while pushing the boundaries of emerging materials integration into advanced CMOS platforms to deliver higher performance and energy efficiency.

But NanoIC isn’t just about technology, it’s about building the talent pipeline for Europe’s semiconductor ecosystem. That’s where the Tyndall Summer Fellowship Program comes in.

What the fellowship offers:

Or as Xander Yap, a 2025 NanoIC Summer Fellow at Tyndall from ETH Zürich states it:

“I’m fascinated by atomic processes that enable impactful devices. During my fellowship, I deepened my understanding of materials science, explored machine learning applications in research, and strengthened my statistical analysis skills. Working at Tyndall gave me hands-on experience, great mentorship, and the chance to collaborate internationally. I would recommend the fellowship to everyone who's interested in research.”

Xander’s journey reflects NanoIC’s unique environment, where cutting-edge research meets real-world impact.

The NanoIC pilot line is a pan-European effort hosted by imec, in collaboration with CEA-Leti, Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, VTT, Tyndall National Institute, and CSSNT-UPB. Together, we are building Europe’s most advanced semiconductor R&D and prototyping infrastructure for beyond-2nm technologies. More partner updates will follow soon!
