About Us

Lab scientists looking at a semiconductor wafer

Czech Semiconductor Centre builds on the strengths of the Czech semiconductor value chain, as defined in the National Semiconductor Strategy (PDF).

Our core specialisations include:

  • Advanced expertise in energy, and AI semiconductor technologies
  • Front-end chip manufacturing for power electronics, automotive and aerospace
  • Chip design and processor design tools, including architecture licensing
  • Metrology tools

We help companies develop new semiconductor products more quickly and cost-effectively — from idea to implementation. Through our network, we provide access to pilot lines and a pan-European design platform, enabling faster validation, scaling and market entry.

The CSC consortium brings together six partners from industry and academia, ensuring access to talent, research excellence and strong alignment with business needs across the Czech Republic and the EU.
