to the War on Terror Microelectronics requirements across the mission space 3 Trusted Microelectronics is National Security Concern C The United States faces a distinct set of specific, semiconductor related national security challenges. * CFIUS - Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States I F
S U The increased acquisition of U.S. assets by Chinese. growing concern over economic and national security implications of such acquisitions Enhance microelectronics in-house capabilities within USG agencies with microelectronics Equities. DON must build and/or sustain
robust in-house research and development capability and develop strategies to accomplish this. Key Programs and Technology Investments: - trusted electronics - micro-miniature anti-tamper - radiation hardened (RADHARD) electronics 4 Tech Challenges: What is being built? NVIDIA Tesla GPUs Moores law drives rapid evolution of technology and with it complexity! 15.3 Billion transistors IC
State Space 2N 2 !!! 109 5 Tech. Challenges: What does it take to build it? Filtering Out Fab Problems An average of 4 million cubic feet of water flow over Niagara Falls every minute. Filtration down to 1 ppq is the equivalent of finding and removing one drop of impurity from this flow over 49 days. Source: Greenwich Mean Time 6 Tech. Challenge: What does it take to verify? Manufacturing Verification:
