The Semiconductor Research Corporation: cooperative research
Article Abstract:
The Semiconductor Research Corp (SRC) is a highly successful, non-profit semiconductor research cooperative headquartered in Research Triangle Park, NC. It includes US semiconductor vendors, US computer manufacturers and government agencies. The SRC was established in 1982 to identify, fund and coordinate generic semiconductor research at various universities, and ensure that the research results were distributed to and used by the cooperative's members. Major areas of research include semiconductor processes, device design and manufacturing. A more 'product-driven' approach is expected for research goals being developed for the year 2000. SRC successes in semiconductor packaging, computer-aided design frameworks, computer-aided semiconductor manufacturing, reliability, synthesis, statistical modeling and process modeling and simulation are discussed.

Activities of the Research and Development Association for Future Electron Devices
Article Abstract:
Japan's Research and Development Association for Future Electron Devices (FED) was founded under the auspices of and licensed by the country's Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) to carry out leading-edge research and development (R&D) on the future generations of electron devices that will be the basis of forthcoming electronics technologies. MITI funds the FED under the Research and Development Project of Basic Technology for Future Industries, but 25 major Japanese firms are also involved in the program and contract for portions of the actual R&D work. The FED is focusing on three major topics of investigation: superlattice devices, three-dimensional integrated circuits, and bioelectronic devices. Ongoing R&D programs in each area and results to date are discussed.
