GRC addresses the critical challenges on the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS), delivering the solutions that sustain Moore's Law.
FCRP focuses on carrying CMOS to its ultimate limits and beyond, keeping the United States and its industries at the forefront of technology.
The focus of NRI is to demonstrate novel computing devices capable of replacing the CMOS transistor as a logic switch in the 2020 timeframe.
TRCs create research opportunities among the semiconductor industry and other sectors. This innovative applications research, for SRC members and non-members, currently includes the following three areas:
bioelectronics, energy & nanoengineering.
The Alliance, a private foundation, supports a diversity of students at various levels of education in industry-related research, encouraging them to pursue a future in science and engineering.
About Focus Center Research ProgramFCRP research focuses on carrying CMOS to its ultimate limits and beyond, keeping the United States and its industries at the forefront of technology. Research Focus: U.S. Security & EconomyFocus Center Research Program (FCRP) is the cornerstone of the U.S. semiconductor research strategy. FCRP research creates the breakthroughs that are critical to U. S. security and economic competitiveness goals, giving member companies a tremendous advantage in the race to lead the technological revolution. Always long-term and big-picture, FCRP research programs offer mutual leverage to industry and government sponsors. FCRP is also the only university research program that gives the U.S. Department of Defense one-to-one leverage with significant payoff. Founded in 1998, FCRP programs have since involved 41 universities, 333 faculty and 1215 doctoral graduate students. The Focus Centers themselves are not physical locations, but rather virtual, each consisting of multiple universities which engage the leading experts at the participating institutions. With an annual investment of about $7 million, each Center is managed by a full-time university Center Director and addresses one of the major technology focus areas of the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS). |
