The Technology Working Groups (TWGs) represent one of the roadmapping
methdologies the CTR program employs to understand where the industry
currently is, where it needs to go, and whether it has the technical
means to get there. Current TWGs are based on three layers:
applications/market drivers (market pull), modules/systems, and
technologies (technology push). Each TWG is comprised of industry
experts in a particular area and focuses on addressing a specific set
of issues. TWGs are also supported by MIT faculty and students who
have provided analyses from device models, process-based cost models,
and system dynamics models where needed. The linkages among the TWGs
are critical in translating industry drivers to system requirements
and from there to enabling technologies.
