The U.S. Department of Commerce and the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) are entering negotiations to provide SRC $285 million to establish and operate a Manufacturing USA institute headquartered in Durham, North Carolina. With combined funding totaling $1 billion, this investment will support the launch of the first-of-its-kind CHIPS Manufacturing USA institute. The new institute, known as SMART USA (Semiconductor Manufacturing and Advanced Research with Twins USA) will focus on efforts to develop, validate, and use digital twins to improve domestic semiconductor design, manufacturing, advanced packaging, assembly, and test processes. SMART USA will join an existing network of 17 institutes, including CyManII, designed to increase U.S. manufacturing competitiveness and promote a robust R&D infrastructure. CyManII provided leadership on securing the digital twins and data, securing the supply chain via cyber physical passports, and leveraging our extensive Education & Workforce Development (EWD) program in this area. Also supporting this endeavor is the The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). CyManII and UTSA look forward to taking on significant cyber security issues in the next frontier of technological advancements in the semiconductor industry. More to come soon...
