Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC) in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina and Advanced Technology Investment Company (ATIC) in Abu Dhabi announced today (11 November) a university research partnership to increase semiconductor R&D in the Arab Gulf state of Abu Dhabi. SRC is a university-industry research consortium for semiconductors and related technologies, and ATIC is a technology investment company owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi.
In the partnership, ATIC will sponsor university research in Abu Dhabi on low power microelectronic applications. Also as part of the agreement, SRC and its member companies will increase their research activities with Abu Dhabi institutions.
In May 2010, SRC and ATIC held a conference in Abu Dhabi that included developments in minimum-energy electronic systems. Earlier this month, ATIC and United Arab Emirates University established a professorship in semiconductor research at that institution.
