Joint University Microelectronics Program (JUMP)
Abstract
The Joint University Microelectronics Program (JUMP) was a government-industry joint research program to explore computing, sensing, communication, and data storage innovations for applications beyond the 2030 horizon. The program recognized that the densely interconnected microsystems of the future would be built through the use of groundbreaking materials, revolutionary devices, advanced architectures, and unconventional computing. Therefore, JUMP sponsored academic research teams focused on related key technology areas that would impact future DoD capabilities and national security. The JUMP program not only pushed fundamental technology research but also established long-range microelectronic research themes with greater emphasis on end-application and systems-level computation. By discovering the science underlying new technologies and overcoming engineering challenges, JUMP enabled DoD applications to exploit the entire electromagnetic spectrum from radio frequency (RF) to terahertz (THz) and to employ both distributed and centralized computing with embedded intelligence and memory.
