The Proposer’s Day is intended to familiarize potential applicants with the objectives and structure of the Materials and Substrates program. It will bring potential applicants together in a collaborative atmosphere to network and support partnership among the community. This will be a hybrid event, composed of a morning plenary session and afternoon breakout sessions. In-person attendance is highly encouraged.
Substrate manufacturers in organic (including fan out), flexible, biocompatible, glass, and semiconductor substrates. Research organizations, technologists and innovators, equipment and tooling manufacturers, and material manufacturers with an interest in advanced substrates. Proposers of integrated devices in advanced substrates may also benefit from attending. Experts in areas associated with advanced substrates usage, assembly and test processes, or other aspects of substrate usage with an interest in participation in this opportunity may want to attend.
We will attempt to provide answers to questions submitted directly to CHIPS R&D prior to the meeting. Questions may be submitted via email to research [at] chips.gov (research[at]chips[dot]gov), with the subject line: 2024–NIST–CHIPS–NAPMP–01.
Register early to attend Proposer’s Day and watch the chips.gov web site for additional updates. We hope to see you in person, or virtually in March.
