The semiconductor industry is experiencing a renaissance driven by physics and new materials, particularly in power electronics, novel sensor principles, high-frequency circuits, and quantum technologies. This talk will highlight the pivotal role of physics, electrodynamics, and quantum mechanics, which are revolutionizing the semiconductor industry through a “More than Moore” approach, opening a fascinating world of new technologies beyond the miniaturization of digital circuits. Examples of current research areas, such as quantum sensors, power electronics, high-frequency electronics above 100 GHz, sensors for biomedical applications, and MEMS systems, will be presented. 

While Europe is not a leader in digital technologies, its rich heritage in physics and engineering uniquely positions it to lead the advancements in the Sensor, power and analog field. Infineon as a world leader in this technologies has a long history in the development of mature products from scientific breakthroughs. This talk will underscore the importance of fostering robust collaboration between academia, research institutions, and global semiconductor players to maintain Europe’s competitive edge in the global semiconductor landscape.
