CNSE Innovation Lab Receives $1.5M Federal Boost for Chips R&D
The funding for the Innovation Lab was included in the recent Commerce, Justice, and Science spending bill approved by Congress thanks to the support of U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer, U.S. Sen Kirsten Gillibrand and U.S. Rep. Paul Tonko. It will be use toward new tools that help researchers measure the characteristics of new nanoscale devices and materials, as well as equipment used for packaging, the process by which the 200mm silicon wafers are turned into individual computer chips.
