In addition to his technical work, Mr. Schl\u00f6ffel was involved early on as a coordinator for successful publicly funded research projects during his time at Philips and after the company transition to NXP. He was significantly involved in over a dozen BMBF projects that contributed to the improvement of development technology (electronic design automation, EDA) to improve the testability and reliability of microchips. During this time, he has decisively intensified the close contact between industry and university in the field of EDA. <\/p>\n
As a member of the edacentrum e.V. steering committee, he contributed significantly to the success of the edacentrum for over 10 years. He was also active for many years in the VDE and the program committee of the ITG\/GMM specialist group Test and Reliability. Furthermore, Mr. Schl\u00f6ffel was involved in various scientific conferences in the field of EDA. With his patents and as an author\/co-author in the field of EDA\/DFT (design for testability), he has contributed significantly to technical developments, especially with his expertise in microelectronics process technology as Program Manager at Mentor Graphics, now Siemens EDA. <\/p>\n
The EDA Medal 2023 is thus awarded to a personality who has made a significant contribution to strengthening the semiconductor industry, its users and, in particular, to the further development and dissemination of EDA in Germany. <\/p>\n
About edacentrum e.V.<\/b><\/p>\n
The edacentrum is the network for electronics, design and applications in business and science. As an independent body, the edacentrum shapes research & development for a consistent design methodology along the entire value chain. In this role, the edacentrum is a recognized innovation accelerator for the microelectronics industry and its user industries. <\/p>\n
The edacentrum initiates, coordinates and supports industry-led, publicly funded R&D projects in the field of EDA, both in the classic sense of “electronic design automation” and in the sense of “electronics, design and applications”, and offers a comprehensive range of services such as project management for these R&D projects. Furthermore, it organizes the bundling of existing EDA expertise at German research institutions within the framework of EDA cluster research projects and offers innovative technical solutions for exchange and cross-company cooperation.<\/p>\n
The edacentrum bundles the interests of industry and science with regard to new challenges in the field of designing microelectronic components and systems and their applications. To this end, it coordinates industry-specific working groups, organizes its own specialist conferences and operates platforms for target group-specific services and public relations work.<\/p>\n
