Abstract:
On September 20, 2023, the Department of Defense announced eight Microelectronics Commons Hubs, including $39.8 million in first-year funding for the Southwest Advanced Prototyping (SWAP) Hub led by ASU. Funded by the CHIPS and Science Act, the Microelectronics Commons program is a $1.6 billion network of eight regional technology Hubs acting on a shared mission: to expand the nation’s global leadership in microelectronics. Through this program, the Microelectronics Commons is accelerating domestic prototyping and growing a pipeline of US-based semiconductor talent.
In this presentation, I will describe the SWAP Hub vision, the structure of the Hub and its composition, the leadership team, and its technical capabilities. Next, I will describe our recent work on design-for-yield that targets manufacturing imperfections for layouts based on emerging carbon nanotube field-effect transistors. Following this, I will present ongoing work on the built-in self-test of monolithic 3D integrated circuits. Finally, I will describe a test and diagnosis technique to characterize fault origins in inter-tier vias and resistive random-access memories for monolithic 3D integration.
