SEMATECH (SEmiconductor MAnufacturing TECHnology) is a non-profit consortium that performs
basic research into
semiconductor manufacturing. It was conceived of in
1986, formed in
1987, and began operating in
1988 as a partnership between the
United States government and 14 U.S.-based semiconductor manufacturers to solve common manufacturing problems and regain competitiveness for the U.S. semiconductor industry that had been surpassed by
Japanese industry in the mid-1980s. SEMATECH was funded over 5 years by public subsidies coming from the US DoD via DARPA for a total of $500 million.
