2007

SRC is awarded the prestigious 2005 U.S. National Medal of Technology, the highest honor for technological achievement bestowed by the President of the United States on America’s leading innovators.

Highlights

As an Award recipient, SRC was recognized for building the world’s largest and most successful university research force to support the rapid growth and advance of the semiconductor industry; for proving the concept of collaborative research as the first high-tech research consortium; and for creating the concept and methodology that evolved into the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors.
SRC celebrates 25 years of indispensable collaboration in the industry.
Global Research Collaboration (GRC), in collaboration with Texas Instruments and the State of Texas, forms a new research center in analog integrated circuits at the University of Texas, Dallas.
NRI forms a new first-of-a-kind partnership with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to advance its research on post-CMOS devices, both by expanding the existing NRI centers and launching new efforts.
To provide a mechanism for SRC to respond to niche research interests outside the purview of its three primary research programs, the Board has authorized the formation of a new program entity called Topical Research Collaboration (TRC); a key feature is that companies that do not currently belong to GRC, FCRP or NRI can participate in various TRCs to assist in meeting research needs.
