Chips JU Workshop on Microelectronics for 6G – Front End Module
2025-09-09 09:15 - 12:30 | online
The aim of this “Microelectronics for 6G – Front End Module” workshop is to gather detailed feedback about the needs, challenges and priorities of relevant stakeholders for a Focus Topic under consideration on the FEM extension, which is a strategic domain for 6G developments. The Focus Topic would also aim at supporting innovation in the sector and would be part of the Chips JU Work Programme 2026 in complement and synergy with the planned FEM activities under the SNS programme.
The proposed FEM extension is intended to complement the current FEM call under SNS, which will not allow to address a complete set of architectural scenarios, technological assessment and integration of all relevant modules. From the starting point of SNS activities on FEM detailed design for partial FR3 Operations (7-15 GHz), a call extension to complement these activities is critical to secure business impact for a European FEM solution targeting 6G FR3.
Structure and expected outcome of the workshop
The workshop will be structured in two sessions: the first one centred on FEM semiconductor enabling technologies and R&I requirements that are needed to secure the technological basis to develop a FEM; the second one centred on integration/validation aspects, PoC developments and pre-industrialisation through use of Pilot lines.
