  • Promotion Guide Featuring Profiles of 25+ Russian
    4+0_100A3_170g.job Sig:1-A Composite Introduction We would like to welcome you to the SEMIDEC Promotion Guide of Russian Semiconductor Design. Russia has a proud heritage in semiconductor components dating from the Soviet era. It is one of a few countries in the world to have in depth knowledge and capabilities spanning research, design and production of microelectronic and integrated circuits. However, awareness of its strongest microelectronics organisations – universities, design and research institutes, and industrial companies – remains comparatively low in Europe. Consequently, there exists a rich and timely opportunity for Russian microelectronics organizations and their R&D activities to be presented collectively. Giles BRANDON This promotion guide has been prepared under the EU funded FP7 SEMIDEC Intelligentsia Consultants Ltd project “Stimulating Semiconductor Design Cooperation Between Europe and FP7 SEMIDEC Russia” (Contract No 247992). It is the result of a comprehensive mapping of Project coordinator Russian microelectronics organisations involved in research relevant to the EU´s priorities concerning semiconductor design methods, tools and standardization. The main target groups for this guide are EU companies and R&D organisations looking for partners in Russia for joint R&D projects in the area of semiconductor design. The FP7 SEMIDEC project has been being implemented by the following consortium of European and Russian partners: 1. Intelligentsia Consultants, www.intelligentsiaconsultants.com, Project Coordinator 2. Inno
