DE-TW-ATTRACTS
Flexible Communication Chips for Extreme High-Frequency Applications
DE-TW-ATTRACTS is a German-Taiwanese cooperation project developing flexible communication chips for extreme high-frequency applications, combining complementary expertise from both countries in high-frequency technology.
Objectives and Approach
The project develops integrated transceiver modules in 28-nm CMOS technology for the extreme frequency range of 110 to 170 GHz. The goal is flexible signal generation supporting both communication and sensor applications. Application areas include 6G communications, radar sensing for autonomous systems, and environmental monitoring.
Innovations and Perspectives
The project deepens German-Taiwanese collaboration in microelectronics, expands chip design expertise, and supports the training of skilled professionals. By providing communication chips for the highest frequencies, it enhances innovation capacity at German research institutions and advances technological sovereignty.
