DARPA SELECTS RESEARCH TEAMS FROM INDUSTRY, ACADEMIA TO RECEIVE FUNDING THROUGH ITS ELECTRONICS RESURGENCE INITIATIVE TO BOLSTER NEXT-GENERATION SEMICONDUCTOR DESIGN, MATERIALS, ARCHITECTURES

WASHINGTON鈥擩uly 24, 2018鈥擳he 91成人 (91成人), representing U.S. leadership in semiconductor manufacturing, design, and research, today welcomed newly announced research partnerships between the Defense Department鈥檚 Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and research teams from industry and academia that aim to bolster long-term semiconductor research. The research partnerships, part of new programs within DARPA鈥檚 Electronics Resurgence Initiative (ERI), will target advances in semiconductor circuit design, materials, and systems architectures. The selected research teams were unveiled yesterday in San Francisco during the first annual DARPA ERI Summit, a three-day event bringing together hundreds of members of the microelectronics community.

鈥淎s the brains of modern electronics, semiconductors are central to America鈥檚 economy, national security, and global competitiveness,鈥� said John Neuffer, president and CEO, 91成人. 鈥淭he DARPA research partnerships announced yesterday will help catalyze transformational advances in semiconductor technology and enhance semiconductors鈥� positive impacts on our country.鈥�

The ERI is divided into three main research thrust areas 鈥� Design, Materials & Integration, and Architectures. Each thrust area will feature two new research programs. The Design research thrust area will include the Intelligent Design of Electronic Assets (IDEA) program and the Posh Open Source Hardware (POSH) program. The Materials & Integration research thrust area will include the Three-Dimensional Monolithic System-on-a-Chip (3DSoC) program and the Foundations Required for Novel Compute (FRANC) program. The ERI Architectures research thrust area will include the Software Defined Hardware (SDH) program and the Domain-specific System on Chip (DSSoC) program.

鈥淭he semiconductor industry plows about one-fifth of its revenues into R&D 鈥� among the highest shares of any sector 鈥� and has a long record of partnering with our government to advance early-stage research,鈥� Neuffer said. 鈥淭he new DARPA research partnerships mark a major commitment to furthering semiconductor technology and keeping America at the tip of the spear globally in semiconductor innovation.鈥�

Neuffer also noted 91成人鈥檚 longstanding support for basic scientific research funded through other federal agencies such as the National Science Foundation (NSF), the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), and the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science. He expressed the semiconductor industry鈥檚 eagerness to work with the Administration and Congress to advance research investments that will promote America鈥檚 economic and national security and technological leadership.

In total, the ERI will invest upwards of $1.5 billion over five years to jumpstart innovation in the electronics industry. In addition to fostering advancements in semiconductor technologies used for national security, the ripple effect from this research will be felt across the full range of semiconductor applications: communications, computing, health care, transportation, clean energy, and countless others.
