COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 397/83
of 17 February 1983
amending Regulation (EEC) No 3744/81 in respect of the list of the projects to benefit from Community support and of the Annex thereto
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3744/81 of 7 December 1981 concerning Community projects in the field of microelectronic technology (1), and in particular Article 4 (4) thereof,
Whereas technological progress since the adoption of Regulation (EEC) No 3744/81 has made it necessary to widen the scope of research and development activities if a well-balanced design and manufacturing capability is to be achieved by the microelectronic industry in the Community;
Whereas there appear to be sufficient financial resources available, after aid has been assigned to the projects selected for support during 1982, to support some new activities;
Whereas the Consultative Committee on Community actions in the field of microelectronic technology has expressed a favourable opinion,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EEC) No 3744/81 is hereby amended as follows:
1. The list in Article 4 (1) setting out the projects to benefit from Community support is replaced by the following:
' I. Equipment for advanced lithography
II. Equipment for dry chemical processing and physical treatment of silicon and III-V (three-five) materials
III. Equipment for testing, handling, assembly and packaging of integrated circuits
IV. Computer aided design (CAD) for very large scale integration circuitry (VLSI) in the domains of:
1. architecture
2. language and data structure
3. testing
4. device modelling.'
2. The following addendum is added to the Annex:
'ADDENDUM
The following indications are guidelines to the proposers and shall not be construed as limiting their freedom of choice of projects.
Whenever technical characteristics or performance specifications are given, these shall be regarded as minimum requirements.
Equipment whose development is already receiving aid shall be considered only exceptionally.
I. Equipment for advanced lithography
Projects for this area shall include those previously specified in points I and II of the Annex.
II. Equipment for dry chemical processing and physical treatment of silicon and III-V (three-five) materials
