The AIXTRON machine for semiconductors was the first of its kind installed at a U.S. university and is one of the most “high performance systems” in the world.
BOISE, Idaho — Boise State University (BSU) will unveil the first-of-its-kind semiconductor on campus Thursday.
According to a news release, the AIXTRON semiconductor machine, the first of its kind at a U.S. university, is one of the most powerful systems in the world.
The announcement is scheduled to be made on Thursday, August 8th at the Micron Materials Research Center.
The new machine can “grow incredibly thin semiconductor films” and help students get hands-on training, which will make BSU graduates more competitive for semiconductor manufacturing jobs.
The debut comes on the second day of the National Competitiveness Council Summit on the BSU campus, which aims to explore Idaho’s path to becoming an innovation hub where new technologies are researched, developed and deployed in partnership with manufacturing, business and industry as a way to remain competitive in the global economy.
