SEMATECH (from Semiconductor Manufacturing Technology) was a not-for-profit consortium that performs research and development to advance chip manufacturing. SEMATECH has broad engagement with various sectors of the R&D community, including chipmakers, equipment and material suppliers, universities, research institutes, and government partners. The group was funded by member dues.
After years of decline, and following the departure of Samsung and Intel from the consortium, SEMATECH was absorbed by SUNY Polytechnic, University in Utica in 2015.
