Abstract
A comparative study is made with regard to 3 representative government-funded projects (“VLSI Projects (70s)”, “Super-Advanced Electronics Technologies Project (90s)”, “Millennium Research for Advanced Information Technology (MIRAI) Project (2000s)”) for semiconductor technology. In this study, (1) industrial background, (2) theme and goal for R&D, (3) budget and team organization, (4) scenario for application, and (5) output and impacts on competitiveness, are considered in a comparative manner. This study points out that the management methodology of these 3 projects well reflect the social/economical situation surrounding Japan’s semiconductor industry.
