Semiconductor Chips News

Researchers at RIT have improved the electronics used in communication and radar systems to better process signals using electromagnetic radio waves. This breakthrough could advance computing processes for technologies that need to handle signals quickly and efficiently.

Two RIT faculty members are building a comprehensive workforce development program in manufacturing for veterans and under-employed individuals to provide the needed skills-based training in electronics assembly.

WHEC-TV highlights how RIT is making microchips with less energy and safer chemicals.

Robert Pearson helped make history when RIT began its microelectronic engineering program in the early 1980s. An RIT alumnus of the electrical engineering program and MicroE’s first faculty hire, Pearson reflected on some of that history—and his place in it—before retiring this summer after more than 40 years.

SlashGear speaks to Stephen Polly, manager of operations for the Semiconductor Microsystems Fabrication Laboratory, about his Radioisotope Thermoradiative Cell Power Generator study being explored by NASA.

Researchers at RIT and University of Rochester recently connected their campuses with an experimental quantum communications network using two optical fibers. The Rochester Quantum Network (RoQNET) uses single photons to transmit information about 11 miles along fiber-optic lines at room temperature using optical wavelengths.

WHAM-TV speaks to Karl Hirschman, professor in the Department of Electrical and Microelectronic Engineering, and microsystems engineering Ph.D. student Sami Znati about the opportunities available in the semiconductor field.

The Associated Press speaks to Karl Hirschman, professor in the Department of Electrical and Microelectronic Engineering, microsystems engineering Ph.D. student Eli Powell, and microelectronic engineering student Matt Lynch about the opportunities and jobs associated with the semiconductor industry.

As a scientist, new business developer, and as a researcher, Bukofsky brings more than 30 years of experience to his newest role in the U.S. Department of Commerce.

WROC-TV interviews Associate Professor Parsian Katal Mohseni about RIT receiving $1.5 million in federal funding to get more semiconductor and microelectronics workers out into the world.

The Central New York Business Journal highlights federal funding that RIT will also use to implement a new online certificate program to train students across microelectronics-related educational tracks.

Rochester Business Journal reports that RIT was awarded nearly $1.5 million to implement a new online certificate program to train students across microelectronics-related educational tracks.
