In 1995, Atmel acquired the pan-European chipmaker European Silicon Structures (ES2) and thus gained a fabrication facility in <a href="/wiki/Rousset,_Bouches-du-Rh%C3%B4ne" title="Rousset, Bouches-du-Rhône">Rousset</a>, France. Atmel built a new fab alongside the existing ES2 fab. This business unit was named Atmel-ES2. Atmel acquired Digital Research in Electronic Acoustics and Music (DREAM) in 1996. Atmel formed a design team in <a href="/wiki/Trondheim,_Norway" class="mw-redirect" title="Trondheim, Norway">Trondheim, Norway</a> to develop the <a href="/wiki/Atmel_AVR" class="mw-redirect" title="Atmel AVR">Atmel AVR</a> line of <a href="/wiki/RISC" class="mw-redirect" title="RISC">RISC</a> microcontrollers.
