Semiconductor Research Corporation - SRC: Back End Processes, Packaging, and Interface

The Interconnect and Packaging Sciences (IPS) area of SRC is soliciting white papers (due Wednesday, May 4, 2011 at 3pm ET) in the areas of Back End Processes (BEP), Packaging (PKG), and Interface (INT) for contracts to be awarded as early as February 2012, for an expected three-year period. Successful white paper authors will be invited to submit full proposals. This process will be completed in two stages and only selected white papers will be advanced to the full proposal stage. We will pursue proposals based on quality, projected member value, and available funds. SRC GRC may also elect to negotiate a project's research scope or a team's composition to meet funding or synergy goals. A typical range of task funding has been in the $80-100k per year range for individual investigator-led projects.
For those who plans to submit white papers only: Jon Candelaria, Director of IPS, along with member company representatives, will host an open conference call to describe the highlighted changes to the IPS Needs Documents from last year, discuss areas of special focus, and answer any high-level logistical questions PIs and Task Leaders may have.  Date: Tuesday, March 29, 2011.
