Colleagues,
everything is set for our meeting on Dec 10th. You can view our still
evolving agenda in http://radon.eecs.berkeley.edu/labnetwork.
An important recent addition to that page is our Mission Statement,
put together by Rafael Reif. Here it is:
Our Mission Statement
It is proposed here to organize the community of academic microfabrication
facilities and users in order to represent this community in its dealings
with the Government, Industry, and society at large, to benefit the whole
academic microelectronics community, and to make it possible for this
community to speak with a common voice. This organization will, for example,
1. Be a continuing organization that identifies and addresses the
primary issues of the day, formulates straw man positions, and
recognizes that these primary issues change with time
2. Articulate the role of academic microfabrication facilities and
academic microelectronics research, its usefulness to our industry
and society at large, and will take a proactive position explaining
our point of view
3. Provide a forum to exchange know-how on facilities management,
coordinate infrastructure investments for maximum efficiency, and
share useful information of general nature (e.g., how we have best served
society)
4. Coordinate and prepare responses to new pre-competitive
opportunities with the objective of addressing what is common to all
of us, e.g., our infrastructure
5. Help generate new opportunities to carry out our educational
mission in microelectronics
