Purdue & TSMC Partner to Enhance Chip Security

TSMC and Purdue University announced the establishment of a center at the university to enhance semiconductor security

eetasia.com, Jun. 20, 2019 – 

Taiwan's Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSMC) and Purdue University in the U.S. announced the establishment of a center at the university to enhance semiconductor security, via a press statement last week. The Center for Secured Microelectronics Ecosystem is aimed at safeguarding the semiconductor and tool supply chain from the foundry stage to packaging.

The world's largest foundry and Purdue officials announced the agreement in Washington, D.C. during the SelectUSA Conference held in mid-June. The annual conference, led by the Department of Commerce, combines a number of U.S. government agencies to facilitate investment in the U.S. The move comes as chip-level security raises new worries, not the least of which involves cyberespionage. The advent of AI opens a wide range of issues highlighted in research in areas such as poisoning of training sets and adversarial input. Outside the AI realm, as the number of edge devices surges, vulnerabilities such as Meltdown and Spectre have raised concerns about data leakage, data theft, and ransomware.

"Semiconductors will continue to be the enabling backbone for technological and economic growth in the 21st century, propelling advancements in IoT, autonomous transportation, AI, advanced manufacturing, and many other applications," said U.S. Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross. "Under President Trump's leadership, the administration will continue doing all it can to grow and equip our highly skilled workforce, maintain our competitive investment, and regulatory environment and support world-class American research universities."
