May 22-23, 2023
Penn State University
University Park, PA
This two-day workshop brings together semiconductor industries and institutions nationwide to discuss R&D opportunities under the CHIPS and Science Act. In January at University of Pennsylvania, the first MASH workshop focused on the needs of the industrial semiconductor sector. This workshop will focus on identifying industry-academia-government partnerships that will position the U.S. for technology and workforce leadership in semiconductors and microelectronics.
Workshop Featured Topics:
- Education and workforce development
- Silicon-adjacent materials
- Advancement of testing, assembling, and packaging capabilities
In addition to presentations by invited speakers from diverse organizations, there will be opportunities to work in focused groups to promote insightful analysis of the multiple challenges impacting the U.S. semiconductor industry.
