Technology teamwork: the SEMATECH story
Article Abstract:
The success of the semiconductor manufacturing technology (SEMATECH) demonstrates the commitment and the aptitude of the government/industry research and development team. It also shows that federal industrial policy can be successful under suitable circumstances. SEMATECH's success can be attributed to its policy of defining a focused objective and clear parameters of success, learning from past mistakes, continuos improvements, and the belief that transferring people is the ideal means of technology transfer.
