Microelectronics (SEMI)•consensus following the product value chain•Savings >1% of the total fab cost•Safety record

• Effluent discharge limits• Air emission• Occupational

•Use of provisional standards

Information Technology ( IEEE 802

saga)•Use of anticipatory standards•Strict guidelines for new work items•Attention to future needs•>$25 billion industry

Digital Optical Storage (DVD forum)•300 million unit sale within 5 years•Component supply chain model and modular architecture•Integration of developing countries•$50 billion content market creation

• Electronics industry has done it before!• Product integration, market players integration,

safety• Nanoelectronics Industry community can do it again•Demonstrate stewardship in LCA• Participation by Application-focused researchers needed•Develop and Use anticipatory standards•Develop key performance criteria for all socially beneficial nanoenabled products•Kick start developments in Sensor application•Engage international community including NIE

•Outreach on Standards activities•Increase industry participation through conference participation (can be a captive audience for increased outreach on standards activities)•Potential Workshops (topics & funding tbd)•What we are doing?-

• Organizing committee member for 2011 ASET conference

• Work items as applied research topics & design stepsFunding benefits, Engineering training

“We wanted to find a good way to determine how biologically relevant nanomaterials react with cells,” says Jim Riviere, distinguished professor of pharmacology. “When a nanomaterial enters the human body, it immediately binds to several proteins and amino acids. The molecules with which a particle attaches determine where to go. ”
