Dual use semiconductor technologies for enhanced European defense capabilities

This presentation reviews the role of semiconductor technology as a key enabler in defence applications.

The critical needs and requirements for the application of this technology are examined, as well as the dual technologies approach, which is seen as an opportunity to enable access to the defense industry for these components.

The relationship with the entire ecosystem, from tools and machinery to research, design and manufacturing, is also discussed, as is the need for talent in semiconductor technology and its system application to enable the development of innovative capabilities by leveraging the use of semiconductors and improving different approaches, such as RF, mixed signal, electronics, photonics and quantum, and their integration.
