Heterogeneous development solutions for semiconductors & Scaling up quantum technologies
This KIC mission call is a collaboration between NWO and Holland High Tech. The call focuses on funding fundamental and applied research in the field of semiconductors and quantum technologies. The expected opening date is Q1 2026.
Stimulating high-tech research
The HTSM programme aligns with our innovation domains and the National Technology Strategy (NTS). This strategy identifies key technologies needed for upcoming transitions, such as the energy transition, the circular transition and the development of digitalisation. This HTSM call stimulates research in the field of High Tech Systems and Materials in the Netherlands, to strengthen and expand the country’s high-tech knowledge base.
Focus on two research areas
The call covers two research areas. The first focuses on the development of new design and process technologies for the heterogeneous integration of chiplets within a single package, combining multiple physical domains. Artificial intelligence plays a key role in optimisation, design exploration and testing methods for advanced 2D and 3D integration.
The second focuses on quantum technologies, which have the potential to fundamentally transform existing systems for computation, communication and security. These technologies are still in an early stage of development compared to classical semiconductors. To accelerate the transition from fundamental research to practical applications, targeted knowledge development is needed around the production and scaling of quantum systems.
