... From the beginning, the very best leaders of the semiconductor industry were involved.3 Board members included the chief executive officers or key leaders of the major participating companies. 3SEMATECH directors included Robert Noyce, cofounder of Intel Corp.; Charles Sporck, CEO of National Semiconductor; and Robert Galvin, CEO of Motorola.

... Consortium Accomplishments What was accomplished? One way SEMATECH defined success was to increase its global market share through a stronger equipment industry.

... A Growing List of Applications He described a "windows roadmap" for solid-state lighting, with the objective of creating active windows that are appliances within the wall. These active windows would provide all forms of information and entertainment, including educational material, news, and stock prices; a flick of a switch could change a representation of a cloudy day to a sunny day.
From page 92...
... Ginsberg read a quotation from Alan Bromley, former science advisor to President G.W.H. Bush: "Technological innovation depends on a steady flow of discovery by trained workers generated by federal science investments in universities and national laboratories.
From page 93...
... The Need to Drive the Entire System His company also sees this market as highly substitutable, that is, there are options other than LED s for advanced lighting, but no others that can produce light as efficiently as LEDs. To penetrate the general lighting market and realize potential energy savings it is necessary to drive the entire system and promote the acceptance of LED s not only by the lighting industry but also by the architectural and building industries.

... Epitaxial growth with fewer defects; chip fabrication and structure for light extraction; heat management; phosphors and phosphor deposition; organic materials for OLEDs and device design for efficient light extraction from the OLEDs; encapsulance, both in OLEDs and inorganic LEDs; light-management materials and systems; and thermal management materials and systems. · Manufacturing.

... simultaneous emergence of a new lighting paradigm that is recognized as different and attractive because of its low cost, flexible adjustment of the light spectrum, long lifetime, and minimal space requirements. This paradigm might be applied initially to new buildings and architectural installations but would gradually create a new industry that could move beyond the replacement of streetlights and signs toward the general lighting market.
From page 96...
... Integrated Circuits Versus LEDs Dr. Haitz noted a crucial difference between the integrated circuit industry and the LED industry.
From page 97...
... He suggested a strong effort to leverage programs that now exist and to include private funding mechanisms, including venture capital firms. He concluded the symposium on a note of optimism, suggesting that both the private and government sectors had showed the ability and willingness to create the productive collaborations needed to bring solid-state lighting to a far larger marketplace.
