Centre for Heterogeneous Integrated MicroElectronic and Semiconductor Systems (CHIMES 2) Announced

The University of Southampton, together with the University of Sheffield, are set to received £12.5m of government funding for a new centre to help design the next generation of electrical systems.

The Centre for Heterogeneous Integrated MicroElectronic and Semiconductor Systems (CHIMES 2) will address the challenge of interconnecting semiconductors – microtechnology powering everyday electrical items – as they become increasingly smaller with advances in design.

The Centre has been announced as part of the government’s Industrial Strategy. The Department of Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has revealed significant new investments as part of the UK Semiconductor Strategy within the near £1.6bn investment in the Digital and Technologies Sector Plan.
