The formation of the New York Power Electronics Manufacturing Consortium (NY-PEMC), with GE as a lead partner, will help develop the next generation of materials used on semiconductors at the NY CREATES facilities in Albany. NY CREATES is providing support for operations, manufacturing and research and development activities of the NY-PEMC Silicon Carbide manufacturing line that will develop low cost, high performance 150 mm silicon carbide wafers.
Danfoss Silicon Power, one of the world’s leading, independent custom power module manufacturers, will occupy the entire Computer Chip Commercialization Center in Utica (QUAD-C) facility in Utica. This project supports and advances the New York Power Electronics Manufacturing Consortium, a public-private partnership along the Upstate corridor for development of the next generation of semiconductor materials and packaging. Danfoss Silicon Power will be manufacturing power modules for industrial products such as wind turbines, utility-scale solar inverters, data centers and electric cars.
Cree, Inc., the global leader in silicon carbide technology, will construct and equip the world’s-first 200 mm silicon carbide wafer fabrication facility at the Marcy Nanocenter on the SUNY Polytechnic Institute campus near Utica. While construction is underway, Cree will lease space at NY CREATES, where the company will utilize equipment purchased as part of the New York Power Electronics Manufacturing Consortium (NY-PEMC) to transition from the current process of producing devices on 150 mm silicon carbide wafers to producing devices on 200 mm silicon carbide wafers.
Empire State Development (ESD) and the State University of New York (SUNY) today announced the New York Center for Research, Economic Advancement, Technology, Engineering and Science, or NY CREATES, held its first board meeting and is formally leading operations of Fuller Road (FRMC) and Fort Schuyler (FSMC) Management Corporations.
Dr. Grose, one of the most recognized executives in the semiconductor industry, assumes the leadership role for Albany Nanotech and the associated technology facilities and locations. His goal is to forge an organization which focuses on technology development with an emphasis on business. NY CREATES will manage technology development programs at the Albany Nanotech facility, Rochester TAP facility, and other advanced research facilities across New York State.
This five year commitment focused on the major industry technology challenge of that era – exploring the transition to 450mm wafers. NYS commits $400 million to leverage another $3.7 billion of industry investment to explore this massive industry challenge.
C2QA, led by Brookhaven National Lab along with 23 other partners, is one of centers funded by National Quantum Initiative. C2QA is working on the tools necessary to create scalable, distributed and fault-tolerant quantum computing systems.
Seeqc and NY CREATES team to establish the design and process parameters required to fabricate fluxonium qubits on 300mm silicon wafers using state-of-the-art tools at the NY CREATES fab in Albany, NY. Funded by Air Force Research Lab STTR Phase I grant.
