I understand that as an appointee I must sign the Ethics Pledge and that I will be bound by the requirements and restrictions therein even if not specifically mentioned in this or any other ethics agreement. Before beginning my covered Federal position, I resigned from my non-Federal positions with the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO) and the State of Georgia on July 6, 2017. Pursuant to the Ethics Pledge, I will not, for a period of two years from the date of my appointment to my covered Federal position, participate in an official capacity in any particular matter involving specific parties that is directly and substantially related to ASTHO, unless an exception applies or I am granted a waiver. I understand that this provision in the Ethics Pledge does not apply to state government entities, including the State of Georgia. Even when the two-year restriction of the Ethics Pledge does not apply, under 5 C.F.R. § 2635.502, I will not, for a period of one year from the date of my resignation from ASTHO and the State of Georgia, participate in any particular matter involving specific parties in which ASTHO or the State of Georgia is a party or represents a party, unless I am first authorized to participate, pursuant to 5 C.F.R.

  • 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.

  • TJR-1197 Goodbye.Pdf
    CYPRESS SEMICONDUCTOR CORPORATION Internal Correspondence Date: August 19, 2016 WW: 3316 To: All Cypress Employees Author: T.J. Rodgers Author File#: TJR#1197 Subject: Goodbye cc: BoD, Jim Collins, Larry Sonsini It’s 2:30 in the afternoon on August 17, my last official day at Cypress. After packing my stuff, I realized there were goodbyes to write. So, this won’t be a typical “TJ memo,” revised 10 times, logical and filled with fact-checked data; it will be more stream-of-consciousness in style. In a way, writing this memo is like talking to your wife of 34 years, while she’s on her deathbed. What do you say? I’ve enjoyed being with you? We’ve done a lot of good things together? There are really no appropriate words. But, perhaps there are. In the 1970 movie Patton, as the General leaves his command, he says, “Gentlemen, all good things must come to an end. And the best thing that has happened to me in my life has been the honor and privilege of commanding the 3rd Army. Goodbye, and God bless you.” This is the way I feel about Cypress. We have a lot to be proud of. Cypress was founded in December 1982, when there were 59 publically traded American chip companies. Today, only 15 of them are left—and we are one of the 15. That statement applies to every Cypress employee, whether you came from old Cypress, Spansion, Fujitsu, Broadcom or Ramtron. Each of us has made it in the industry for a long time; we all now fight together under one flag; and we’re all still around because we’ve earned the right to be.

  • 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.
