The European Commission has defined micro- and nanoelectronics as one of five key technologies for Europe. At the moment, this segment of industry accounts for ten percent of Europe’s gross domestic product (GDP). Miniaturized electronic circuits fulfill a broad range of important technical functions: they not only control our PCs, tablets, smartphones, and DVD players. Without them, the power grid would be far less efficient, airbags would not pop open, and medical devices would not be able to function.
