Accelerating Semiconductor Research,
Accelerating America
The American Semiconductor Innovation Coalition (ASIC) represents 200 businesses, startups, universities, national labs, and nonprofits dedicated to bringing the best research and development to The National Semiconductor Technology Center and The National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing Program.
To protect U.S. semiconductor leadership, manufacturing continually fueled by world-leading research and development is key.
The 2021 National Defense Authorization Act’s (NDAA) call to create a National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC) and a National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing Program (NAPMP) establishes a pathway for this urgent investment. It will uniquely accelerate the U.S. transformation into a secure semiconductor powerhouse.
ASIC – a broad coalition of businesses, universities, national labs, and nonprofits – has put forward a vision of a technology network, with hubs and geographically distributed centers of excellence, as the main technical driver of the National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC) and the National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing Program (NAPMP), supporting the research, development, prototyping, and manufacturing transfer goals of the NSTC and NAPMP and ensuring they are met.
To reach that objective, the technology network must achieve the following:
INNOVATION ECOSYSTEM
Provide an innovation ecosystem for research, development, and prototyping with first-class resources, scientists, facilities, and partners who can work quickly and efficiently.
TECHNICAL AGENDA
Create and execute on an ambitious, but practical, technical agenda focused on the transition from innovation to commercialization.
EXPERIENCED WORKFORCE
Include teams experienced in taking discovery from “lab-to-fab.”
EXPANDED PRIOR INVESTMENT
Expand existing large piloting and prototype integration centers to leverage prior investment and hit the ground running on day one.
IMPROVED INFRASTRUCTURE
Upgrade the infrastructure and programs at key universities, reducing the time for tech transfer and facilitating workforce investment.
START-UP SUPPORT
Facilitate start-ups with access to prototyping facilities provided by the network.
