interest in line with their competencies such as a) next-generation equipment and materials, b) enhancement
of state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies, and c) functional diversification. As part of this effort, the EU
team has participated in the IPWGN
and activities covering the different
research vectors.
In general, funding in Europe is
application-oriented. Thus, technology research is strongly influenced
by this strategy and funding of technology research is often "hidden"
behind applications. However, a gap
analysis of nanoelectronic research
shows similar strength and weakness
in various research vectors compared
to the U.S. and Japan. The most
underfunded area is "out of equilib-

European Gap Analysis
The injection of direct funding to
spur micro- and nanoelectronics
R&D in Europe has gained much
momentum and aligned with the
efforts of INC, ITRS and the IPWGN.
In addition, three big European

and Fraunhofer, have agreed to support the major industrial areas of

rium" research, and the most funded
areas are "materials and devices."
Over time, the trend in Europe has
been towards increased funding in
previously underfunded areas such
as manufacturing of MtM, which is a
reflection of the pragmatic European
approach to manufacturing since the
inception of this survey group. Other
areas such as the graphene and
brain related projects have greatly
increased in relative funding strength.
