Europe charts post-fab chiplet strategy amid semiconductor fragmentation
EE Times examines Europe's emerging approach to chiplet ecosystems and post-fabrication semiconductor design, positioning the continent to compete without owning bleeding-edge fabs. Chiplets allow designers to assemble chips from pre-designed blocks—lowering entry barriers.
The strategy reflects Europe's realism: competitive fabs are capital-intensive and few, but ecosystem play in packaging, IP, and modular design is achievable and critical for AI hardware diversity.
