CoR amendment
(1) strengthening technological capabilities in next gener­ ation chips production technologies, by integrating research and innovation activities and preparing the development of future technology nodes, including leading-edge nodes below two nanometres, Fully Depleted Silicon on Insulator (FD-SOI) at 10 nano­ metres and below, and 3D heterogeneous systems integration and advanced packaging;
(1) strengthening technological capabilities in next gener­ ation chips production technologies, by integrating research and innovation activities and preparing the development of future technology nodes, including leading-edge nodes below two nanometres, Fully Depleted Silicon on Insulator (FD-SOI) at 10 nano­ metres and below, and 3D heterogeneous systems integration and advanced packaging; this shall include the production of chips that are more than 10 nanometres in size, for which there is demand from the EU user industry;
Reason The Commission’s focus on chips that are below 10 nanometres in size is too narrow and fails to meet the needs of the EU user industry.
