Our CMOS+X NRT program at RIT aims to develop an innovative convergent graduate research training model for next-generation complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) + X (X = AI, biomedical, chemical, optoelectronic, photonic, nanoelectronic, quantum, and packaging) talents, in order to address the domestic semiconductor talent shortage which is an urgent national priority. This NRT program seeks to engage at least 170 graduate students with 20 funded Ph.D.s to help close the semiconductor talent gap. There are 4 CMOS+X research tracks: Track 1: Semiconductor Material Innovations, Track 2: Semiconductor Micro- and Nanoelectronics, Track 3: Semiconductor Optoelectronics and Photonics, Track 4: Integrated Circuits, Systems, and Packaging.
