WBG Pilot Line

The WBG Pilot Line aims to strengthen the competitiveness of the European semiconductor industry by accelerating the adoption of advanced wide-bandgap technologies across the entire value chain. Its focus lies on WBG semiconductors such as SiC and GaN, as well as novel ultra-WBG materials for high-power and high-frequency applications.

Project goals

  • Realize an integrated pilot line focused on the developments of the wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductors technologies for power and radio frequency (RF) electronics
  • Improve the European supply chain for WBG substrates
  • Demonstrate a European value chain through shared development of novel semiconductor and MEMS devices based on wide-bandgap materials
