TITLE: Student Teams Win SoC Design Contest
A System-on-Chip (SoC) design contest has been organized by the
Semiconductor Research Corp. (SRC) and the Semiconductor Industry
Association (SIA) for U.S. universities. Sponsors include
Advanced Micro Devices, AMI Semiconductor, Analog Devices,
Cadence Systems, Freescale Semiconductor, IBM, Intel, MOSIS,
National Semiconductor and Texas Instruments. Forty student
teams submitted entries in the first phase of the contest and
five were selected to proceed to the next phase in which their
designs will be fabricated in silicon using an advanced
manufacturing process at a MOSIS production facility. Teams
winning the first phase are from the University of Virginia,
Harvard University, Michigan State University, University of
Tennessee and Tufts University.
