The CHIPS Metrology Community, established by CHIPS for America, aims to foster collaboration and knowledge sharing across the semiconductor industry. This community will focus on seven grand challenges related to metrology, which is crucial for ensuring the accuracy, precision, and quality of semiconductor manufacturing as devices become more complex.
The CHIPS Metrology Program, one of the four CHIPS for America Research and Development programs, emphasizes measurements that are accurate, precise, and fit-for-purpose for the production of microelectronic materials, devices, circuits, and systems. The community welcomes participation from stakeholders across the semiconductor industry, including measurement instrument manufacturers, component integration and packaging experts, electronic design automation professionals, and standards development organizations.
The establishment of this community is expected to enhance U.S. economic and national security competitiveness by promoting collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the development of industry standards in the field of semiconductor metrology.
