Ceit joins AESEMI to strengthen the semiconductor industry in Spain
20 | 12 | 2024
The Technology Center Ceit has joined the Spanish Semiconductor Industry association (AESEMI), reinforcing its commitment to development of a competitive national ecosystem in the field of semiconductors and microelectronics.
The incorporation to AESEMI allows Ceit to add its technological capacity and experience to a association that brings together the main Spanish companies in the sector. AESEMI seeks to enhance the competitiveness of the national semiconductor industry, give visibility to its players core topic and act as an interlocutor with national and international organizations.
A contribution core topic from technological innovation
Ceit brings to the AESEMI ecosystem a solid track record in applied research and technological innovation. From its Electronic Systems and Communications (and Laser) groups, the center develops advanced solutions such as the design of processors based on RISC-V architecture, fundamental for embedded systems from high performing, and the modeling and fabrication of metamaterials and coded surfaces, designed to optimize wireless communications.
In addition, his areas of work range from development of communication and sensing systems with integrated circuits for industrial, logistics and transportation applications to structural health monitoring in complex environments. Also noteworthy are his activities in technology transfer, where he leads projects in design of safe and efficient embedded systems, integration of machine learning algorithms, and electronic systems adapted to their environments, including ATEX explosive atmospheres.
The laboratories and technical capabilities of Ceit include pre-certification testing in electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), vibration and temperature, as well as RAMS analysis and radio frequency characterization. These tools position the center as an essential technology partner for the advancement of emerging technologies within the semiconductor industry.
Track record of excellence and transfer
In addition to its research activity, since its creation in 1996 by the University of Navarra, Ceit has combined research applied with technology transfer, developing more than 100 projects of research and development per year and promoting the creation of more than 19 technology spin-offs, generating more than 380 direct jobs.
Member of the Basque Research and Technology Alliance (BRTA), Ceit actively collaborates in the Basque research ecosystem and works in close coordination with other technology centers and industrial agents.
