  • A Report on Semiconductor Foundry Access by US Academics (Discussion Held at a Meeting Virtually Held at the National Science Foundation on Dec 16, 2020)
    A Report on Semiconductor Foundry Access by US Academics (Discussion held at a meeting virtually held at the National Science Foundation on Dec 16, 2020) Organizers: Sankar Basu1, Erik Brunvand2, Subhasish Mitra3, H.-S. Philip Wong4 Scribes: Sayeef Salahuddin5, Shimeng Yu6 1 NSF, [email protected] 2 NSF, [email protected] 3 Stanford University, [email protected] 4 Stanford University, [email protected] 5 University of California, Berkeley, [email protected] 6 Georgia Institute of Technology, [email protected] 2 Executive Summary Semiconductor technology and microelectronics7 is a foundational technology that without its continued advancement, the promises of artificial intelligence (AI), 5G/6G communication, and quantum computing will never be realized in practice. Our nation’s economic competitiveness, technology leadership, and national security, depend on our staying at the forefront of microelectronics. We must accelerate the pace of innovation and broaden the pool of researchers who possess research capability in circuit design and device technologies, and provide a pathway to translate these innovations to industry. This meeting has brought to the fore the urgent need for access to semiconductor foundry and design ecosystem to achieve these goals. Microelectronics is a field that requires sustained and rapid innovations, especially as the historical rate of progress following a predictable path, is no longer guaranteed as it had been in the past. Yet, there are many plausible paths to move forward, and the potential for further advances is immense. There is a future in system integration of heterogeneous technologies that requires end-to-end co-design and innovation. Isolated push along silos, such as miniaturization of components, will be inadequate.

  • Needham's Semiconductor Expertise What Does The
    The Growth Factor - Commentary by John Barr, [email protected] June 23, 2021 - Vol. 32 The Opportunity We See in Semiconductor Manufacturing (6 minute read) 2020 brought an unprecedented economic shutdown. The pandemic accelerated trends that we have been focused on for a long me; we call this the Great Digital and Life Sciences Acceleration. I would like to zero in on the opportunities in semiconductor manufacturing. I’ve long felt the semiconductor industry has moved beyond a cyclical, PC-driven industry to one of strategic importance. The confluence of manufacturing semiconductors for automotive, data center, machine learning, and remote work electronic systems; remaking the supply chain, and securing supplies for geopolitical needs have created a positive scenario for semiconductor manufacturing technology companies. Needham's Semiconductor Expertise Needham Funds have been owners of semiconductor manufacturing companies since our start in 1996. Needham Funds are an affiliate of Needham & Company, which has completed over 580 underwritings and M&A transactions for semiconductor companies since 1985. Addionally, prior to my Wall Street career, I spent 12 years in sales and markeng for Electronic Design Automaon companies, selling to semiconductor and electronic systems companies. I also spent 8 years as a sell-side senior research analyst following semiconductor design and technical soware companies. I served on the board of directors of venture capital-backed Coventor, Inc., which provided simulaon and modeling soluons for semiconductor process technology and was sold to Lam Research, Inc. in 2017. What Does the Opportunity in Semiconductor Manufacturing Mean for Needham Funds? Growth in advanced semiconductor manufacturing has been a dominant investment theme for Needham Funds for over 10 years.
