"Nano2017" R&D Program Announced at STMicroelectronics' Crolles Site
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Five-year strategic R&D program led by ST to further advance the company's
leadership in key embedded processing solutions and technologies
Crolles, France, July 22, 2013 - STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a global
semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics
applications, has announced today that French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault,
along with Minister for Industry Arnaud Montebourg, Minister of Higher Education
and Research Genevieve Fioraso, and Fleur Pellerin, Minister Delegate attached
to the Minister for Industry, with responsibility for Small and Medium-sized
Enterprises, Innovation and the Digital Economy, as well as representatives from
national, regional and local authorities and managers from ST met today at ST's
site at Crolles, near Grenoble, France, to celebrate the Nano2017 Research and
Development program. Also present at the ceremony were key partners of ST for
the Nano2017 R&D program including CEA-Leti and IBM.
Nano2017 is a five-year public-private strategic R&D program, led by ST, which
gathers many players, including the leading French research laboratory CEA-LETI
-a historical partner of the ST Crolles R&D center since its set up in 1992-,
several University research teams, material and equipment manufacturers, vendors
and CAD intellectual property specialists, system integrators, and other
European stakeholders and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The project is
supported by French national, regional and local authorities as well as by the
European community through the ENIAC Joint Technology Initiative (JTI). Funding
for the program is subject to approval by the European Commission.
Nano2017 strengthens ST's leadership in key technologies: FD-SOI[1] (low-power,
high-performance processing), next-generation imaging (sensors and image signal
processors) [2] and next-generation embedded non-volatile memories [3]. These
technologies are at the core of ST's embedded processing solutions which include
microcontrollers, imaging solutions, digital consumer products, application
processors and digital ASICs. Embedded processing technologies and products are
developed mainly in the French sites of Crolles, Grenoble, Rousset and Sophia
Antipolis. ST currently addresses an estimated $67 billion market [4] in 2013
for embedded processing solutions and has significant potential to grow and gain
market share.

[1] FD-SOI (Fully Depleted-Silicon on Insulator) is a next-generation process
technology that addresses most of the challenges caused by continuing to shrink
the features of transistors to dimensions measured in the 10s or 100s of atoms.
Because of leakage, current silicon process technology is increasingly
inefficient at 28nm and below. FD-SOI is a faster, cooler and simpler
alternative.
[2] Developments in imaging sensors and image signal processing are expected to
enable extraordinary applications that see, for energy efficiency, security,
convenience and health. Imagine TV screens that power down when you look away,
vehicles and residences that recognize their owners and medical equipment that
recognize unusual growth. These will all be possible with advances in imaging.
[3] An Embedded Non-Volatile Memory (eNVM) is an important component of almost
all systems-on-chips. The eNVM operates as an on-chip program or data storage
locker, where the system can safely store firmware, security-code, calibration
data, and other application-critical information-even when the system is not
being powered.
