Within CEA Grenoble, the integrated circuit design platform is one of Europe’s leading technological research design center specialized in digital, analog, mixed-signal and radiofrequency component circuit and system design.

 3D heterogeneous and monolithic integrations allows mixing different CMOS technologies, to offer the best system performance trade-offs. Chiplet-based architecture allows building efficiently larger systems in a plug&playing manner. CEA has a strong experience in designing 3D  & chiplet circuits, and is aiming at strengthening its design team and competence center, for various application domains: High Performance Computing, embedded AI accelerator, IoT, Smart Sensors, Quantum computer.
