STMicroelectronics and
Politecnico di Milano Announce Agreement
on Research Center for Advanced Sensors
Milano, June 14, 2021 – STMicroelectronics
(NYSE: STM), a global semiconductor leader serving customers across
the spectrum of electronics applications, and Politecnico di
Milano, a scientific-technological university, which trains
engineers, architects and industrial designers, announced today a
five-year collaboration agreement in the presence of Italy’s
Minister of Economic Development Giancarlo Giorgetti. At the heart
of the agreement is the establishment of a joint research center on
advanced materials for sensors (STEAM), leveraging the
long-standing collaboration between ST and Politecnico. The joint
research center has been created to give professors, researchers,
and PhDs a unique opportunity in Italy, namely all the means to
conceive, design and develop MEMS technology and to create new MEMS
products.
The agreement will allow the Politecnico di Milano to become
even more attractive for talented academics, offering multiple
doctoral scholarships and positions for professors and researchers
in four areas of common interest and in the related materials
sector. The expansion of the existing collaboration will allow the
further development of the center of excellence dedicated to
cutting-edge sensors in Lombardy.
ST is a world leader in MEMS and advanced sensors, with over 15
billion MEMS sold to date. The core of its global MEMS R&D
operations is in Lombardy, close to Milan. The agreement will also
contribute to fuel ST’s research and development roadmap in
advanced sensors, MEMS and analog as the teams investigate, develop
an understanding of, and develop technologies and skills to future
business needs in areas including advanced MEMS, motion control,
power electronics, and galvanic isolation.
The agreement also provides for an infrastructure upgrade for
the Politecnico di Milano, starting with the construction of a
state-of-the-art 200mm pilot line in addition to the current 150mm
line of the PoliFab clean room. Dedicated to the development of new
MEMS technologies, the new pilot line will be used to support
research projects, training, and thesis elaboration.
“The research center between Politecnico di Milano and
STMicroelectronics is the result of an extraordinary joint effort
on key areas such as sensors and artificial intelligence,"
underlined the Rector of Politecnico di Milano Ferruccio Resta.
"This investment also aims at innovating for the manufacturing
sector, driver of the Italian economy. The laboratory, open to
companies, is part of an ambitious project to create a real
innovation district in the Parco dei Gasometri in Bovisa (a
neighborhood of Milan). Here a real world-class ecosystem will
develop, capable of competing with the best efforts abroad. The
center of excellence embodies the interaction between public and
private sectors, between universities and companies. It is one of
the strategic activities of the university, increasingly oriented
towards the development of advanced research and the
competitiveness of the territory."
“This agreement between ST and the Politecnico di Milano will be
a key contributor to our MEMS and sensors research and development
operations. It is a great example of what can be done within the
framework of ST’s global approach to cooperative research with
universities and research bodies: supporting leading technology and
engineering ecosystems where ST is present, developing talent, and
building the future together,” said Jean-Marc Chéry, President and
CEO of STMicroelectronics. “We see significant value and
opportunity in expanding our cooperation to investigate,
understand, and develop technologies and skills to meet our future
business needs in such areas as advanced MEMS, motion control,
power electronics, and galvanic isolation.”
