With passage of the 2022 CHIPS for America Act, the US government is making a $50 billion investment to catalyze long-term growth in the domestic semiconductor industry in support of US national and economic security. A significant portion of this funding - $11 billion – goes towards R&D initiatives to create a network of innovation in the US semiconductor ecosystem.

This symposium will focus on 3 target areas identified as critical to the R&D initiatives:

Metrology and characterization needs for leading-edge CMOS and beyond CMOS technologies including 3D devices for logic and memory
Measurements for advanced packaging/3D heterogeneous integration
Material purity and quality – requirement and challenges for the semiconductor industry as contamination and purity standards continue to become more strict.

*This symposium gathers experts to discuss research challenges and opportunities associated with the recently passed CHIPS act, but it is not an official activity by or related to the US CHIPS office.
