The participation of Soitec in IPCEI and European funding projects
Since the 2010s, European funding programs have evolved from Horizon 2020 to CHIPS JU through IPCEI contracts. These programs support innovation projects and cover all Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) up to industrial deployment. Soitec mainly addresses CHIPS JU calls and is a direct partner of IPCEI.
Key Benefits of Participation :
Encourages collaboration and partnerships
Requires forming Consortiums with partners across the value chain
Accelerates innovation and industry responsiveness
Strengthens European semiconductor ecosystems
Increases European competitiveness in the global market
Projects in which Soitec is participating
IPCEI (Important Projects of Common European Interest)
Soitec took part in the first IPCEI ME between 2018 and 2022. It has been a direct partner of IPCEI Microelectronics/Communicative Technologies (context of France 2030) since its notification in 2023 for 5 years. The IPCEI allows Soitec to finance RID & FID in addressing the development of technologies.
Soitec participates in 2 Work Streams Think, Act and leads the Work Stream Communicate:
- THINK addresses processors and memory as the brain of a computer. Soitec activity in this Work Stream is the development of the FDSOI and 2.5D3D.
- ACT addresses the body and muscles of an electronic system. For Soitec, this Work Stream merges all the activity on SmartSiC for Power Electronics.
- COMMUNICATE is the most important in terms of technologies for Soitec. It addresses the strong nerve pathways which network with the brain : POI, RFSOI, GaN, InP, Photonics,etc.
BEYOND5 Project
Soitec is the coordinator of the BEYOND5 project which counts 41 partners to “build the fully European supplY chain on RFSOI, enabling New RF Domains for sensing, Communication, 5G and beyond.”
The project offers the first European industrial roadmaps for adding connectivity and functionality features on existing CMOS technology. It will bring together significant European actors from the entire value chain, from materials and semiconductor technologies to the systems, to build a complete European supply chain for RF electronics, enabling new RF domains for sensing, communication, 5G radio infrastructure and beyond. Ultimately, the project will allow a high-scale integration for reduced consumption of power and costs, leading to the production of reliable and environmentally friendly components.

Solidify the European FDSOI ecosystem and accelerate its industrial deployment (SOIL)
Soitec is one of the 39 partners of the projects coordinated by STMicroelectronics.
The SOIL project will accelerate the implementation of semiconductor manufacturing based on FDSOI technology, building, and securing the European semiconductor value chain from material to system, supporting the twin green and digital transition. It will give Europe the opportunity to move forward with industrial and academic players spanning the value chain by joining in the risk-taking necessary for the growth dynamics of semiconductors for Automotive, Space, IOT and Edge AI domain in Europe.
TRANSFORM Project
Soitec is one of the 32 partners of the Transform project coordinated by Bosch for the development of the SmartSiC and to build a “Trusted European SiC Value Chain for a greener Economy.”
Soitec participates in 2 Work Streams Think, Act and leads the Work Stream Communicate:

FASTLANE Project
Soitec participates in the Fastlane project to develop SmartSiC and to “boost the European Value Chain for Sustainable Power Electronics.”
Soitec is one of the 26 partners of this project coordinated by Valeo. FASTLANE targets a complete, highly competitive, and sustainable European value chain for Silicon Carbide (SiC) based power electronics. The goal is to provide cutting-edge technology excellence from engineered SiC substrates to innovative, novel devices, smart power modules and converters/inverters for a wide range of automotive and industrial applications.
