Moving Technology Forward

John Hennessy
President, Stanford University

The vision of Gordon Moore—Moore's Law—has made possible the technology we take for granted today, technology founded upon the colossal strides of the semiconductor industry. And, as Dr. Hennessy emphatically states, SRC plays a key role in moving the industry forward through its unique focus on research and educating students to be technology's next generation of leaders and innovators.

SRC brings together industry and academia to create a synergy for research unlike any other organization. With industry-directed research, member companies have access to pre-competitive technology breakthroughs that allow them to stay one step ahead in the marketplace. And the participating universities and graduate students play an integral part in creating the future of technology—whether it's the next big thing, the technologies of tomorrow or discoveries beyond current imaginings.

Semiconductor Research Corporation creates and supports collaborative university research programs focused on pre-competitive technologies. The programs are cooperatively sponsored by universities, industry rivals and government agencies, resulting in increased competitiveness among all member organizations.
