US Defense Department's $15.5 million push for semiconductor and chip development

The US Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has invested $15.5 million in advanced semiconductor research teams to drive future semiconductor and chip development.

The new investment was invested in the Semiconductor Advanced Research Consortium (MARCO), part of the "Semiconductor Advanced Technology R&D Network" (STARnet) project jointly launched by DARPA and the Semiconductor Research Consortium (SRC) to develop future semiconductor technologies. The SRC is comprised of companies including IBM, Intel, Micron, Grofund and Texas Instruments.

DARPA and SRC launched the STARnet project in January 2013. The five-year plan totals $194 million, and each of STARnet's research centers will receive more than $6 million a year. MARCO, as a subordinate of the SRC, also received an investment of 13.4 million. According to DARPA, STARnet is a national university research network, including the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, the University of Michigan, the University of Minnesota, the University of Notre Dame, the University of California at Los Angeles, and the Berkeley campus, as well as other "Future Integrated Circuits to Solve Moore's Law Failures" Colleges and universities with the main goal of developing foreseeable problems on the road and laying the foundation for microsystem innovation.

In January 2013, IDG News Services wrote that universities, as part of the STARnet project, will establish research centers that address a variety of issues, covering internal interconnects, memory, processors, scalability, and energy efficiency. The University of Michigan specializes in circuit manufacturing for 3D interconnects and memories. The University of Minnesota specializes in spintronics, which is considered by IBM to be the foundation for future inexpensive memory and storage media. UCLA focuses on atomic materials for next-generation chips, the University of Notre Dame focuses on integrated circuits for low-power devices, the University of Illinois specializes in nano-fabrics, and the University of California at Berkeley focuses on technologies that support smart city distributed computing.
