Event Details

In this talk, we will introduce the California DREAMS hub that is providing prototyping services for RF microelectronics under the DOD’s Microelectronics Commons program. We will provide a history of academic and industrial work in microelectronics in Southern California that includes history of the original MOSIS service and discuss how it led to the formation of California DREAMS. We will describe the hub and its MOSIS 2.0 service, and the progress we have made in our first year and plans for the future.
