The objective of this International Research Experiences for Students (IRES) project is to cultivate a cohort of globally engaged researchers through an international research internship program. In collaboration with National Chung Hsing University (NCHU) in Taiwan, the project at Texas A&M University (TAMU) aims to create a mechanism to engage a diverse group of undergraduate students in semiconductor manufacturing research. The specific research challenges to be addressed include material innovation, miniaturization and scaling, process integration, quantum effects, and sustainability. The planned IRES activities will include both short courses (two weeks) and research immersion (four weeks) hosted by NCHU’s iCenter for Advanced Science and Technology (iCAST), with ten faculty members serving as short course instructors and research mentors.
