The IHP OpenPDK initiative aligns with the EU Chips Act, which provides a fully open and manufacturable SG13G2 BiCMOS technology platform for analog/RF, mixedsignal, and digital IC applications. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between academia, startups, and the semiconductor industry, promoting open collaboration and overcoming economic and technical barriers in semiconductor innovation.
