This phase II project seeks to address challenges in the area of advanced manufacturing and material measurements, more specifically geared towards development of physical and information standards…

This $399,752 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Science, Technology, Business and/or Education Outreach program (CFDA 11.620) funds a Phase II project to develop standards and open-source software for digital data associated with semiconductor electronics. The project aims to support NIST initiatives related to the CHIPS Act and provide digital data standards to accelerate advanced materials research and development for semiconductor electronics. Key activities include developing standards and open-source software, preparing an R&D plan, demonstrating a platform use case, and delivering a final report. The primary intended beneficiaries are the U.S. semiconductor industry and associated research and development markets. No sub-awards are planned under this project, which has an award date of October 1, 2024 and an expected completion date of March 31, 2026.
