Funded by the CHIPS and Science Act, Microelectronics Commons is an Office Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, OUSD(R&E), program establishing a network of regional technology Hubs acting on a shared mission: to expand the nation’s global leadership in microelectronics and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains. The Commons program enables technology development and laboratory to fabrication (lab-to-fab) transitions to domestic manufacturers in the areas of 5G/6G, Artificial Intelligence Hardware, Commercial Leap-Ahead, Electromagnetic Warfare, Secure Edge / Internet of Things Computing, and Quantum Technologies. Commons Hub members will provide brief overviews, highlight their hubs are accelerating lab to fab prototypes, and discuss the path to production transitions in a joint panel discussion.
