Semiconductor research corporation
 Launched in 1982 by SIA
 SRC is the worlds leading technology research consortium
 Invested millions in cutting-edge semiconductor research.
 In 1987 initiated the creation of SEMATECH
 Focus Center Research Programing(FCRP) is established by SRC and
DARPA to extend CMOS to its theoretical limits in1997
 In 2005 Nanoelectronics(NRI) is launched to find the “next switch”
beyond CMOS.
World Semiconductor Trade Statistics(WSTS)
 Headquarter is at San Jose, California
 Operational center is located at Bruckmuehl, Germany
 Non-profit mutual benefit corporation whose Charter and Bylaws define
services for the world semiconductor industry.
 Manages the collection and publications
of trade net shipments and
semiconductor industry forecasts
STARnet: Semiconductor Technology Advanced
research Network
 STARnet is a collaborative network of stellar research centers
finding paths around the fundamental physical limits that threaten
the long term growth of the microelectronics industry.
 Collaborative research environment that is highly leveraged by both
industry and U.S. department of Defense funding.
 Focuses on beyond CMOS technology options
Nanoelectronics Research Initiative (NRI)-SEMATECH
 Demonstrate non-conventional, low energy technologies which can
outperform CMOS om critical applications in ten years and beyond.
 NRI is strongly focused on novel circuits and architectures which best
exploit the unique characteristics of the new devices.
 GOALS
 100-1000 time lower energy consumption in logic switches
 10-100 time higher computational efficiency
 Highly energy efficient information processing system inspired in the
nervous system.
POLICIES
 Semiconductor Chip Protection Act- 1984
Makes the layouts of IC legally protected upon registration.
 R&D Tax Credit-1981
Tax credit for companies that incur research and development cost in
the United States.
 EPA MOU on Emission ReductionIt is a memorandum of understanding regarding Environment.
 America COMPETES Act-2007
To invest in innovation through research and development, and to
improve the competitiveness of the US.
