Serving the European microelectronics industry, the FAMES pilot line aims to advance and strengthen the European Union's semiconductor capabilities and to secure its technological sovereignty.

To foster the development of more efficient, energy-saving, and sustainable chips, FAMES represents an €830 million investment, including 2,000 m² of cleanrooms and nearly 100 new machines.

At the head of FAMES, the CEA is a key player in semiconductor research, recognised for its ability to bring technologies to maturity before transferring them to industry.
