Abstract :
The University of Tennessee/Oak Ridge National Laboratory Joint Program in Mixed-Signal VLSI and Monolithic Sensors is described. This program is organized around four major components: 1) joint research; 2) a joint graduate program; 3) a summer intern program for undergraduates; and 4) an annual workshop on mixed-signal VLSI and monolithic sensors. There are typically 5-7 research programs that support 10-15 graduate students each year. Industry participates in this program by providing financial support for Industrial Fellows that are selected from Joint Program applicants
