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.
GRC 2008 Inventor Recognition AwardsThe Inventor Recognition Award was created in 1986 to increase awareness among researcher participants of the importance of technology transfer and intellectual property protection for increasing the competitiveness of member companies. In addition, cash awards are provided in appreciation for the cooperation of researcher participants in obtaining patent protection for inventions resulting from SRC university research programs. The creativity and innovation demonstrated by GRC-supported university researchers allow the semiconductor industry to overcome seemingly insurmountable technological challenges on an ongoing basis. Their creative contributions sustain the competitiveness of the semiconductor industry, and ultimately lead to prosperity and higher standards of living for our national and global economies. In addition to sponsoring the research efforts of many talented university researchers, GRC recognizes and appreciates those researchers whose efforts lead to patentable inventions. While GRC sponsored patents are licensed non-exclusively to GRC member companies who sponsored the research, each patent is an intellectual asset ultimately owned by a researcher's university, which can represent a valuable source of licensing revenue to their academic institution. In addition, GRC university researchers benefit from the professional prestige and technical recognition bestowed upon those whose creative efforts are honored by an issued patent. SRC acknowledges and rewards the creativity of the researcher participants and students named below. A number of current and former students are included in the list of Inventor Recognition Awards; they are marked with an asterisk.
