: Research into alternatives like cubic boron arsenide , which offers higher mobility than silicon, could lead to faster, smaller chips.
: MIT proposes a national investment plan focused on 200mm wafer diameter capabilities, which researchers identify as the "sweet spot" for technology translation today. Building the Workforce Pipeine : Research into alternatives like cubic boron arsenide
: Providing students with research experiences and internships through programs like the Microsystems Industrial Group, which has mentored students for over 35 years. MIT’s approach includes: MIT is actively leading a
: 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 : which offers higher mobility than silicon
To reclaim its superpower status, the U.S. needs thousands of new skilled workers. MIT’s approach includes:
MIT is actively leading a national strategy to reassert U.S. preeminence in the semiconductor industry. This effort focuses on leveraging university research to pioneer breakthrough technologies while building a robust, highly skilled workforce to support domestic manufacturing.
