GSA has introduced new Interest Groups and Working Groups to solve industry issues and challenges. These groups are comprised of industry professionals who volunteer their time and energy to achieve a common objective. Interest Group and Working Group participation is strongly encouraged, and new participants are always welcome.

Interest Groups

Working Groups

• The Supply-Chain Performance Working Group's mission is to open up the lines of communication between the fabless/fab-lite community and key suppliers, specifically foundry and back-end partners, on topics of mutual interest and benefit.

• The MS/RF Process Design Kit (PDK) Working Group is creating a industry forum to gain a better understanding of the different formats that currently exist within the industry, how they differ from one another, what they define, who can use them, etc.

• The MS/RF PCM/Process Checklist Working Group's mission is to define a standard way of communicating basic process parameters and criteria for mixed-signal/RF processes and to develop standard definitions for quantitative and qualitative metrics that can be used for classification and as figures of merit in selecting an appropriate process and process options for a specific design application.

• In January 2009, GSA merged its efforts with MOS-AK, a well-known industry compact modeling volunteer group primarily focused in Europe, to re-activate its Modeling Working Group. In April 2010, the MOS-AK/GSA Modeling Working Group then merged with GSA's MS/RF Model Working Group. Its purpose, initatives and deliverables coincide with MOS-AK's purpose, initatives and delieverables.
