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 as a consortium to fund research by semiconductor companies.[8]
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.[9]
Research
SRC has funded research in areas such as automotive, advanced memory technologies, logic and processing, advanced packaging, edge intelligence, and communications.[10]
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.[11][12]
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.[13]
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.[14] 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.[14]
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 International Technology Roadmap.[1]
