Global Semiconductor Alliance – Women’s Leadership Initiative (WLI)
: Research into alternatives like cubic boron arsenide , which offers higher mobility than silicon, could lead to faster, smaller chips.
: Providing students with research experiences and internships through programs like the Microsystems Industrial Group, which has mentored students for over 35 years. needs thousands of new skilled workers
To reclaim its superpower status, the U.S. needs thousands of new skilled workers. MIT’s approach includes:
: MIT participates in the Northeast Microelectronics Coalition (NEMC) Hub , a $2 billion federal initiative funded by the CHIPS and Science Act to transition critical technologies from "lab to fab". Modernizing Infrastructure : : MIT researchers argue in their white paper
: MIT and the NEMC Hub partner with high schools to expand awareness of advanced manufacturing and semiconductor careers.
: MIT researchers argue in their white paper on microelectronics leadership that universities are essential for pioneering "tough tech" and bridging the gap between lab research and industrial scale. Technological Innovation : which offers higher mobility than silicon
: A collaboration between MIT and Applied Materials has created an open-access site at MIT.nano equipped with 200mm advanced research tools identical to those in high-volume production fabs.
