Purdue University is leveraging its expertise in scientific simulation tools to help the nation take the lead as the hub for semiconductors and chips research, development and manufacturing. The university is teaming with the state of Indiana, the U.S. Department of Defense and the international not-for-profit R&D center imec to unveil Chipshub, an online platform for semiconductor simulations, software, collaboration and workforce development.

Chipshub is an offshoot of Purdue’s nanoHUB, one of the first web portals to provide cloud access to scientific simulation tools, serving more than 20,000 simulation users annually. The online platform was announced Friday (Nov. 3) in Washington, D.C., during a workshop hosted by Purdue and imec. The event featured leaders from academia, industry and government exploring ways to enhance U.S. competitiveness in the semiconductor sector.
