Terecircuits Corporation, a venture-backed startup in advanced materials for the semiconductor industry, today announced that it has joined the National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC), a public-private consortium established under the CHIPS and Science Act.
“Terecircuits is proud to be a Member of the National Semiconductor Technology Center as it expands its membership and impact,” says Wayne Rickard, Terecircuits CEO. “We fully support NSTC’s mission to accelerate U.S. led semiconductor research, strengthen domestic manufacturing and build a skilled workforce. With our expertise in the synthesis, characterization and delivery of polymers, encapsulants and thin film coatings for advanced packaging, we look forward to collaborating with fellow Members to drive innovation and global leadership in semiconductor technology.”
Operated by Natcast, an independent non-profit entity, the mission of the NSTC is to convene Members, now numbering more than 100, from across the U.S. semiconductor value chain, academia and government to advance three shared and strategic goals: strengthen U.S. semiconductor leadership; reduce time from lab-to-fab; and expand the U.S. semiconductor workforce. NSTC Members benefit from access to leading-edge research, state-of-the-art facilities, shared physical and digital assets, dedicated events and collaboration opportunities, and employer-driven workforce development programming.
“As a deep tech startup, our NSTC Membership gives us access to invaluable resources and collaboration opportunities that would be difficult or impossible to acquire independently,” says Rickard. “By working alongside industry leaders across the U.S. semiconductor ecosystem, we can accelerate the development of advanced material solutions for heterogeneous integration. Membership offers a unique opportunity to tackle critical challenges in high-density, high-performance chip manufacturing while strengthening domestic capabilities.”
