Panel session: FAMES Academy essential skills for designing in FD-SOI

FAMES includes a dedicated training work package to equip engineers and technicians with the skills to leverage FD-SOI technology and design circuits using advanced setups. The FAMES pilot line aims at developing new technological nodes, such as 10 nm and beyond, enabling European companies to create innovative IPs for cutting-edge applications. However, the success of the project hinges on having skilled professionals. Therefore, it is imperative for European company employees and talented microelectronics graduates to acquire specialized knowledge and expertise in FD-SOI technology design and characterization.
