RIBER, chosen for the France Relance stimulus plan, will benefit
from financial support from the French State for its project to
develop its ROSIE pilot line for the silicon photonics sector
Bezons, March
14, 2022 – 8am – As part of the call for
projects “Industry Stimulus Plan - Strategic
Sectors1”, launched by the French
Ministry of Industry, RIBER, a global market leader for molecular
beam epitaxy (MBE) equipment serving the semiconductor industry,
has been awarded public funding to finance its 300mm pilot
line.
ROSIE is a unique platform that enables epitaxy
for perovskite materials and specifically BTO/STO on silicon. This
configuration makes it possible to address the core component of
several emerging applications, including electro-optic modulators,
electric vehicles, beyond CMOS and quantum computing.
The French State’s €1.1m subsidy has further
strengthened RIBER’s dedicated resources to implement the ROSIE
pilot line, which aims to provide the material and human resources
needed for industry stakeholders to carry out small series,
demonstrators and proofs of concept.
Based on the ultra-vacuum deposition technique
and compatible with semiconductor industry standards (300
millimeters), ROSIE will be focused on depositing very thin films
of materials with an epitaxy process on silicon and will offer
monoatomic precision capabilities in terms of control on a 300mm
wafer.
ROSIE represents a total industrial investment
of €3m over three years. Driving the development of silicon
photonics, it will help meet the current challenges concerning the
integration and convergence of semiconductor sectors (silicon,
III-V) to design new microprocessors that go beyond the current
technological limitations and offer extremely high-performance
switching speed properties with virtually zero optical losses. The
ROSIE pilot line, which is scheduled to be operational by the end
of 2023, has already received several expressions of interest from
clients in Europe and the United States.
ROSIE clearly illustrates how the industry is a
source of solutions to meet tomorrow’s strategic challenges. It is
also a concrete example of the French government’s support for the
most buoyant fields from the manufacturing sector in France.
Mrs Fiona Lazaar, Member of the French national
assembly for Val-d’Oise, and Mr Adrien Allard, Deputy Prefect for
the Stimulus Program in Val-d’Oise, visited RIBER’s Bezons site
last Wednesday, and were able to observe that the Company’s
technological advances and robust development have enabled it to
create a global hub for excellence that employs more than 100
people in France.
Adrien Allard, Deputy Prefect for the Stimulus
Program in Val-d’Oise says: "Through the call for projects
"(Re)locations in critical sectors", the government has taken
concrete measures to support productive investment and strengthen
the resilience of our industry. Laureate in the electronics sector
- in a context of unprecedented tension on our production
capacities for such components, the project carried out by the
company RIBER will fully contribute to these challenges."
Fiona Lazaar, Member of the French national
assembly for Val-d’Oise, adds: “The significant support for the
RIBER company in Bezons is a concrete illustration of our desire to
relocate strategic sectors in France with a double challenge: the
reconquest of our industrial sovereignty and the
reindustrialization of the country. Our territory is full of
know-how and innovation capacities in cutting-edge technologies,
such as the ROSIE project. The France Relance stimulus plan makes
it possible to support them by massively reinvesting in the
tomorrow’s industrial tool.”
Philippe Ley, Chairman of RIBER’s Executive
Board, concludes: “Thanks to the French State’s support, RIBER is
setting out its position as a vital industrial partner to further
strengthen the semiconductor industry’s competitiveness in Europe.
This public support will help optimize and secure the industrial
development of our highly strategic ROSIE pilot line. RIBER is
moving forward with its ambition to work on innovative and
disruptive technologies supporting the silicon industry.”
