New Approaches to Semiconductors
Our Â鶹´«Ã½ semiconductor research and development ecosystem is designed for industry, government and academic collaborations.
One of the strengths of this ecosystem comes from our participation in . California DREAMS is an easy-access platform for the design and manufacture of prototypes of advanced electronic modules such as heterogeneous semiconductors. This platform is a national resource for the U.S. microelectronics industry, and Â鶹´«Ã½ is a key player in this semiconductor ecosystem.
