leveraging digital twins to reach remote , underserved , underrepresented and inaccessible communities . With over four decades of experience uniting industry , government and academia , SRC remains attuned to the evolving needs of the industry and anticipates the emerging requirements of the semiconductor sector .
The CHIPS Manufacturing USA Institute was established through the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 .
After releasing the Decadal Plan for Semiconductors in 2021 , which continues to provide crucial insight and guidance to the industry , SRC began laying the groundwork for the SMART USA Institute .
This was done in partnership with the Founding Executive Committee , which includes industry giants Advanced Micro Devices , IBM , Intel Corporation , Micron Technology and Texas Instruments , as well as prestigious universities Georgia Institute of Technology , Purdue University and State University of New York .
SRC ’ s final submitted proposal garnered broad community support , including more than 150 participating organizations , all unified in their commitment to advancing semiconductor manufacturing and research .
David Henshall , SRC Vice President of Business Development , said : “ The SMART USA Institute ( SMART USA ) will advance American digital twin technology and apply it to the full semiconductor supply chain , enabling rapid process optimization , predictive maintenance and agile responses to chips supply chain disruptions . These efforts will strengthen US global competitiveness – ensuring our country reaps the rewards of American innovation at scale .”
The SMART USA Institute aims to address the critical challenges facing semiconductor manufacturing by leveraging cutting-edge research , fostering educational initiatives , and promoting industryacademic partnerships . By uniting a diverse array of stakeholders , the institute is poised to make significant strides in enhancing the competitiveness and resilience of the U . S . semiconductor industry .
The selection of the SMART USA Institute is contingent upon the successful negotiation of an Other Transaction Agreement ( OTA ). p
