Semiconductor Technology Focus Centers
Abstract
(U)The Semiconductor Technology Focus Centers research program is a collaborative effort between the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Office of the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Science & Technology (DUSD/S&T), and the Microelectronics Advanced Research Corporation (MARCO) which will establish new Focus Centers in “Materials, Structures & Devices” and in “Circuits, Systems & Software” at U.S. Institutions of Higher Education. The Focus Centers will concentrate research attention and resources on a discovery research process to provide radical innovation in semiconductor technology that will provide solutions to barrier problems in the path of sustaining the historical productivity growth and performance enhancement of semiconductor integrated circuits. The overall goal of this collaborative effort between the Department of Defense and industry is to sustain the unprecedented four decades of uninterrupted performance improvement in information processing power.
