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.
Company-Named ScholarshipsThe company-named scholarships were created to increase the number of GRC Master's Scholars in research areas of special interest to the cosponsoring companies. These scholarships are named for the companies providing matching funding. The company-named scholars are chosen from the applicants for the Master's Scholarship Program based on the eligibility requirements used to select the Master's Scholars, and on the match between the student's proposed research and the cosponsoring company's research interests. The first company-named scholarships were awarded for the 2001-2002 academic year with IBM and National Semiconductor each naming two scholarships. Currently, Intel Foundation is cosponsoring 7 scholarships through the SRC Education Alliance and Applied Materials is cosponsoring 2 schoalrships bringing the number of company-named scholarships for the 2009-2010 academic year to 9. The recipient of a company-named scholarship will be mentored for the term of the scholarship by an Industry Advisor from the cosponsoring company, and will be awarded internships and other support from the cosponsoring company as appropriate. |
