The NY Creates and Micron Technology Joint Apprenticeship program has welcomed its first cohort of 10 apprentices, introducing them to hands-on, advanced R&D training and technical career pathways in the semiconductor industry. Participants will gain expertise in producing new and innovative technologies, shaping the future of technology.
NY Creates is part of a collaboration to advance high NA EUV lithography and transition to larger 6-by-12-inch mask format, enabling single-exposure printing of larger chip areas. This initiative aims to strengthen the industry's capabilities and support next-generation semiconductor innovation.
NY Creates will receive $1.25 million to support research, technology scaling, and workforce development in quantum computing. The institute aims to overcome significant barriers to practical quantum computing by developing techniques for fabricating hardware and education programs.
