Addressing the long-term research needs of the semiconductor industry, Texas Instruments, the State of Texas, the Nanoelectronics Research Corporation (NERC) and The University of Texas System announced a $30 million investment in university nanoelectronics programs. Starting with the establishment of the Southwest Academy of Nanoelectronics (SWAN), headquartered at The University of Texas at Austin, the effort will attract top academic researchers to develop and commercialize new nanoelectronics materials and devices that hold the promise of taking the electronics industry beyond today’s chip technologies.
Texas Instruments is the lead corporate investor in the effort, with a $5 million contribution.
