Center for Semiconductor Modeling (CSM) – Accelerating Technology Development through Understanding Fundamental and Technology Limitations in Materials and Devices

The Army Research Laboratory (ARL) and Boston University (BU) have established the Center for Semiconductor Modeling of Materials and Devices (CSM), bringing together government, academia, and industry in a collaborative fashion to continuously advance semiconductor research forward to meet DoD needs. The CSM leverages combined core competencies of partner organizations, which include a broad knowledge base in modeling, and its validation; sharing of computational, characterization, materials growth and device processing resources; and ‘extension of the bench’ via exchange of researchers between affiliated entities.
