Contributions of DOE (Dept. of Energy) Weapons Labs and NIST to Semiconductor Technology


Book Description

Examines of the potential of national laboratories to contribute to commercial competitiveness -- focusing primarily on labs that would be closed or downsized as a result of declining defense budgets, and those already responsible for supporting competitiveness. Semiconductors was selected as a case study because of their importance to the national economy and the significant technical challenges associated with their manufacture. Photos, charts and tables.
