该奖项为弗吉尼亚理工学院和州立大学提供资金，用于支持一个名为“微电子器件、工艺和制造操作设计的创新综合课程和研究经验”的综合研究课程开发（CRCD）项目。亨德里克斯 该项目团队来自弗吉尼亚理工大学的各个学科的教师，为微电子设备，工艺和制造操作的设计开发创新的综合课程和研究经验，整合了微电子制造各个领域的当前研究。该提案的主要研究人员将利用功率半导体器件和功率IC，封装，VLSI设计，纳米纤维技术，电子陶瓷和制造过程的操作控制等领域的研究专业知识。 提出了一个三门课程的核心水平的背景进入学生从不同学科的微电子制造选项。 此外，在设备，纳米制造和制造/运营规划领域提出了三条先进的研究轨道。

This award provides funding to Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University for the support of a Combined Research-Curriculum Development (CRCD) project entitled, "Innovative Combined Curriculum and Research Experience for the Design of Microelectronic Devices, Processes, and Manufacturing Operations," under the direction of Dr. Robert W. Hendricks. This project teams faculty from various disciplines at Virginia Tech to develop an innovative combined curriculum and research experience for the design of microelectronics devices, processes and manufacturing operations which integrates current research from various areas of microelectronics manufacturing. The principal investigators for this proposal will draw on research expertise in the fields of power semiconductor devices and power ICs, packaging, VLSI design, nanofabrication technology, electronic ceramics, and operational control of manufacturing processes. A three course core is proposed to level the bacground of entering students from various disciplines in the microelectronics manufacturing option. In addition, three tracks for advanced study are proposed in the areas of devices, nanofabrication, and manufacturing/operations planning.
