Joint focus

While CITC provides in-depth research expertise in advanced packaging and die-attach technologies, Neways Electronics translates these innovations into manufacturable, reliable solutions for real RF applications. Our joint focus is on sintering, a high-performance die-attach technology with enormous potential for radar and MRI systems, and later for broader applications.

Valorization

By combining research-driven insights with industrial capabilities, we aim to:

Validate sintering for RF demonstrators
Accelerate technology readiness from lab to production
Strengthen strategic autonomy of the Dutch microelectronics ecosystem

This is what valorization means: bridging the gap between knowledge and market, thus creating impact for industry and society. We will get back to you once we have moved from trials to demonstrators – stay tuned.
