Three
years ago, the executives representing the major companies
in the semiconductor industry in Austin, Texas began holding
formal meetings to find ways to meet their workforce needs.
With American students' math and science skills weakening,
the Semiconductor Executive Council members found themselves
struggling to hire workers with the skills needed for the
jobs that were available. They needed a solution. Destination:
Digital was the result.
In general,
the purpose of the initiative launched is to bring together
colleges, universities and schools to help students, educators
and parents meet the challenges of our high tech age. The
programs and resources that make up Destination: Digital address
every level of education, from elementary school to colleges
and universities.
Specifically,
the Semiconductor Executive Council has three goals:
- to
get students more interested in math and science at an early
age through hands-on learning
- to
encourage students to go onto higher education so they can
develop a clearer vision for their future
- to
work with adults who would like to move into a high tech
career, but lack the skills to do so.

In March 1996, Samsung
Austin Semiconductor broke ground on a $1.3 billion state-of-the-art
semiconductor fabrication facility in northeast Austin. Eighteen
months later in August 1997, Samsung employees moved into
the new plant, which sits on 180 acres, and continued the
fast paced start-up of one of the largest fabs in North America.
The facility produces 64-megabit Synchronous Dynamic Random
Access Memory (SDRAM), an advanced semiconductor product most
commonly used in personal computers. The facility includes
a 125,000 square-foot Class 1 clean room featuring 0.23-micron
advanced CMOS memory processes. In January 1998, Samsung Austin
Semiconductor began shipping memory chips to their customers.
In late 1998, the 128-megabit DRAM was introduced into the
product mix. More recently, with the fifth-generation chip
and the introduction of the 128-megabit chip, Samsung Austin
Semiconductor has moved down the feature scale to the 0.19-micron
size. This places the Austin fab as a world leader in the
technology of semiconductor fabrication.
