The Western Institute of Nanoelectronics (WIN)[1] is a research institute founded in 2006 and headquartered at the UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science in Los Angeles, California, US.
The WIN Center networks multiple universities with the Industry and government based sponsors (members of the Semiconductor Industry Association consortium NRI) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in pursuit of replacing Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (CMOS FET).
WIN's research is focused on spintronics extending from materials, devices, and device interactions, metrology and circuits/architectures.
Dr. Kang L. Wang serves as director.
NERC in turn is a subsidiary of the Semiconductor Research Corporation.
