Arizona State University And Applied Materials To Create ‘Materials-To-Fab’ Center At ASU Research Park

坦佩，亚利桑那州(2023年7月11日) 亚利桑那州立大学(ASU) 应用材料公司. 今天宣布了一个联盟, 在亚利桑那州商务管理局的协助下, 这将为创建一个世界级的共享研究cq9传奇电子论坛带来超过2.7亿美元的资金, 开发和原型设备, 材料到工厂(MTF)中心, 在大学里 MacroTechnology作品 在亚利桑那州立大学研究园区的大楼.

The MTF Center will be designed to accelerate the transfer of innovations from ideation to fab prototype by bringing Applied Materials’ state-of-the-art semiconductor manufacturing 设备 into a collaborative environment w在这里 ASU and Applied Materials can work with industry partners, 创业公司, 政府机构和学术机构. The MTF Center will provide students and faculty with opportunities for hands-on learning and research on the same 300mm 设备 used in leading-edge production fabs.

应用材料公司是全球最大的半导体制造设备供应商. 5月份的公司 宣布计划 to build the Equipment and Process Innovation and Commercialization (EPIC) Center in California’s Silicon Valley. The EPIC Center is planned as the heart of a high-velocity innovation platform that includes a network of hubs at leading universities, 每个都专注于材料和工艺创新. The new MTF Center at ASU will be home to Applied’s Center of Excellence in 材料 deposition technology.

“High-quality universities are one of America’s greatest advantages in the global competition for semiconductor manufacturing, 研究与开发,州长凯蒂·霍布斯说. “应用材料公司和亚利桑那州立大学的做法很聪明, and the successful implementation of the Materials-to-Fab facility will establish an innovation and job creation engine for the semiconductor ecosystem in Arizona.”

“Applied Materials and Arizona State University already enjoy a close partnership and this new alliance around the Materials to Fab Center will take things to a new level,亚利桑那州立大学校长迈克尔·克罗说. “但比合作关系更重要的是它将为行业和国家带来什么. This is the beginning of a reconfiguration of the way to accelerate discovery and translational research outcomes in response to real world challenges and the development of next-generational processes, 材料, 设备, 和劳动力.”

“Applied Materials is excited to build upon our successful track record of collaboration with Arizona State University by adding the Materials-to-Fab Center to our university innovation network,加里·迪克森说, 应用材料公司总裁兼首席执行官. “Applied envisions the center at ASU playing a key role in accelerating 材料 engineering innovations, commercializing academic research and strengthening the pipeline of future semiconductor industry talent.”

MTF中心的设计已经开始, 新实验室预计将在两年内投入使用. MTF中心cq9传奇电子论坛得到了亚利桑那州商务管理局3000万美元投资的支持, 来自亚利桑那州立大学的1700万美元, 以及2500万美元的亚利桑那州新经济倡议基金和债券. 包括资本投资在内，应用材料公司的捐款预计将超过2亿美元, 设备操作与维护, 以及研究和奖学金资助.

“在全球半导体生态系统中, 半 member companies have expressed the crucial importance of 扩大ing industry 劳动力 development programs to provide the talent pipeline needed for expected growth,Ajit Manocha说, 总裁兼首席执行官, 半. 业界之间的伙伴关系, 学术界和政府之间的合作——例如应用材料公司之间的合作, Arizona State University and the Arizona state government – will be key to the success of our efforts. We are pleased to offer support with our holistic 劳动力 development program to make the connection from early K-12 STEM learning to community college and university education, 来实习, 学徒制, 职业培训和技能再培训.”

努力建立一个包容性的人才管道, Applied Materials also intends to launch an endowment fund that will provide scholarships to first-generation and/or underrepresented minority students in the Fulton Schools of Engineering. 此外，应用材料动量基金将提供给亚利桑那州立大学的学生. The Momentum Fund provides grants to women pursuing undergraduate degrees in engineering as they approach degree completion, helping to overcome potential financial barriers and accelerating access to careers in the semiconductor industry.

Arizona is one of the nation’s key centers of microelectronics activity – home to some of the nation’s leading semiconductor producers and supply chain operators, 主要国防承包商, 世界一流的大学和研究机构, 还有一个充满活力的创业社区. The MTF Center will be an asset to small and large companies across the state and the southwest region and a key capability for connecting ongoing investments in research and manufacturing. It will provide a nexus for academic-industry collaboration in support of the objectives of the CHIPS and Science Act.

“MTF中心将加速发展, 商业化, 以及下一代美国产品的制造.S. 以半导体为基础的技术，同时支持该州的基础设施, 劳动力, 研究能力,桑德拉·沃森说, 亚利桑那州商务管理局的总裁兼首席执行官. “We’re proud to play a leading role supporting this first-of-its-kind alliance between one of the world’s leading semiconductor technology companies and America’s most innovative university.”

“ASU and Applied Materials have created a foundation of collaboration and we have already seen its value,乌鸦说. “这个联盟将扩大影响, 提供寻找做事新方法的机制, 如果我们成功了, 它将产生我们可以用来再次创新的结果. 这是一项永无止境的工作, 所以，虽然我们今天的成就令人兴奋, you can expect to hear more from us on this front in the future and we encourage others to take this model and replicate it.”
