The new Nick Cobb Memorial Scholarship supports the education of a graduate student studying in a field related to advanced lithography.
In partnership with Mentor Graphics, the scholarship honors the memory of Nick Cobb, a SPIE Senior Member and chief engineer at Mentor Graphics, and his groundbreaking contributions enabling optical and process proximity correction for IC Manufacturing.
Beginning in 2019, an annual award of $10000, jointly funded by SPIE and Mentor Graphics, will be made to an outstanding student studying advanced lithography (or a related field).
Mentor Graphics will also provide the winner travel support to SPIE Advanced Lithography 2019 to receive the award.
