R&D Projects

COMMON (European) COMMON

The goal of the COMON project is to address the full development chain of Compact Modeling (CM) of advanced CMOS and III-V technologies, from the technology level to the system level. The project mission is driven by the need to enhance scientific knowledge, transfer scientific and technological knowledge from academia to industry, to strengthen the European integrated circuit (IC) industry with powerful design automation methodologies and to achieve integration of European research in a fragmented area for the benefit of both young and experienced researchers.
