Gallox Semiconductors, a startup with Cornell Roots, won the 2025 Hello Tomorrow Global Challenge in the Advanced Computing & Electronics category. A member of the Praxis Center for Venture Development, Gallox is one of several semiconductor startups launched at Cornell.
The Cornell Systems Engineering M.Eng. program has developed the Semiconductor, Manufacturing, and Industrial (SEMI) Engineering pathway that features specialized courses for the semiconductor industry, as well as leading-edge approaches in operations, controls, planning and optimization.
Cornell scientists have developed a novel technique to transform symmetrical semiconductor particles into intricately twisted, spiral structures – or “chiral” materials – producing films with extraordinary light-bending properties.
The Brooks Tech Policy Institute has received $3 million from the Department of Defense to establish the U.S. Semiconductor Research Hub, which will assess and improve the resilience of the global network of semiconductor infrastructure.
A Cornell-led collaboration has developed the first dual-sided – or “dualtronic” – semiconductor that combines photonic and electronic functions simultaneously.
A unique project team enables Cornell undergraduates to use emerging open-source hardware to design, test and fabricate their own microchips – a complex, expensive process that is rarely available to students.
The Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility has partnered with two academic institutions to offer a free Microelectronics and Nanomanufacturing Certificate Program to veterans and their dependents.
Researchers developed a semiconductor chip that will enable ever-smaller devices to operate at the higher frequencies needed for future 6G communication technology.
A two-week program that introduces high school seniors to nanofabrication is one of many efforts at the Cornell NanoScale Facility to prepare a workforce – as the microchip industry settles in upstate New York.
Site visits by representatives from the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research & Engineering, Naval Surface Warfare Center and the National Security Technology Accelerator will connect with the Microelectronics Commons Hubs, local government leaders, and experts from industry and academia to accelerate the prototyping of advanced microchips that will bolster our nation’s military technological advantage.
A consortium organized by Cornell and four other New York-based leaders in semiconductor research and development has been awarded $40 million by the U.S. Department of Defense to advance microelectronics innovation and manufacturing.
