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.
