Micro- & Nanoelectronics

Leading global position in micro- and nano electronics 

We increasingly depend on electronic components and systems. The smallest and smartest of electronic components and systems interact with each other and facilitate global innovations. In the process of producing ever smaller chips, researchers and engineers in Brainport continuously succeed in beating Moore’s law and defying the boundaries of physics. Brainport Eindhoven has a global leading position in the field of micro- and nano- electronics. Philips, with its many spin-offs such as ASML, NXP Semiconductors and Thermo Fisher Scientific, laid the foundation for this leading position.These regional competences offer Brainport's extensive high-tech supplychain plenty of future opportunities. The high precision manufacturing equipment used for micro and nanoelectronics for instance can also be utilized for processes requiring extreme precision. Moreover, new markets and the growing need to be able to control new materials and processes on an atomic scale offer plenty of chances. This makes the region a challenging place to be for world-class talent.
