AWARD CITATION

The team is recognized for its leadership and engagement of stakeholders to identify measurement grand challenges facing the U.S. semiconductor industry. The team's two Semiconductor Metrology Workshops and its publication of Strategic Opportunities for U.S. Semiconductor Manufacturing defined the required advances in measurements and standards needed for NIST and DOC to successfully implement core programs in the CHIPS for America Act. The programs authorized by the CHIPS Act will expand U.S. manufacturing capacity, grow the research and innovation ecosystem for microelectronics and semiconductors in the U.S., and restore U.S. leadership in semiconductor manufacturing.
