Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC), commonly known as SRC, is a high-technology research consortium active in the semiconductor industry. [1] It is a leading semiconductor research consortium. [2] [3] Todd Younkin is the incumbent president and chief executive officer of the company. [4] [5]
The consortium comprises more than twenty-five companies and government agencies with more than a hundred universities under contract performing research. [6] [7]
History
SRC was founded in 1982 by Semiconductor Industry Association [8] as a consortium to fund research by semiconductor companies. [9]
In the past, it has funded university research projects in hardware and software co-design, new architectures, circuit design, transistors, memories, interconnects, and materials and has sponsored over 15,000 PhD students. [10]
Research
SRC has funded research in areas such as automotive, advanced memory technologies, logic and processing, advanced packaging, edge intelligence, and communications. [11]
Programs
Joint University Microelectronics Program
It is a long-term research program, in collaboration with DARPA and industry, that focuses on energy-efficient electronics, including actuation and sensing, signal processing, computing, and intelligent storage. [12] [13]
Global Research Collaboration Program
It is an industry-led international research program with eight sub-topics including artificial intelligence hardware; analog mixed-signal circuits; computer-aided design and test; environment safety and health; hardware security; logic and memory devices; nanomanufacturing materials and processes; and packaging. [14]
Undergraduate Research Program
Undergraduate Research Program (URP) is a one-year academic program for students. The program combines an undergraduate research curriculum with industry experience. [15] The program helps sustain a high retention rate of students who are interested in semiconductor research. It gives networking and job opportunities through an annual event. [15]
Recognition
In 2005, SRC received the National Medal of Technology and Innovation awarded by the president of the United States for their collaborative high-tech university research and for creating the concept and methodology, named the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors. [1]
