What is the ZEISS European Summer School about?

Optics is a key technology with inspiring applications. The semiconductor industry utilizes optical lithography to pattern wafers for the most advanced integrated circuits. As a global technology leader in lithography optics and equipment, ZEISS is shaping the nanoelectronics age. This way, ZEISS enables the continuation of Moore‘s Law and the steady progress of the semiconductor industry. The company is committed to advancing science and knowledge about lithography optics in Europe. ZEISS wants to inspire scientists and engineers for semiconductor optics technology and STEM top talents seeking a career in nanoelectronics.

Boosting microelectronics & semiconductor innovation in Europe
Learn key aspects of the world of advanced optics for nanoelectronics and semiconductor technologies at the ZEISS European Summer School. The event is triggered by the Important Project of Common European Interest (IPCEI) to support research, innovation and the first industrial deployment of microelectronics and communication technologies across the value chain. It provides national funding for cooperation partners to initiate significant investments in semiconductor R&D and manufacturing across Europe.

Learn about lithography optics & semiconductor technologies
During the event you will gain insights into the fascinating world of ZEISS’ semiconductor optics manufacturing technology and related aspects of semiconductor technology. Top experts from ZEISS, Nokia, Swissbit and Black Semiconductor will give you a deep understanding of various fields of lithography optics, sustainable microelectronics, advanced packaging and photonics. Join their talks, connect with them and discuss nanoelectronics in a unique group of participants from Europe.
