Funded Research Projects
NRI Funded Projects
- Institute for Nanoelectronics Discovery and Exploration (INDEX) – focuses on new phenomena for logic devices, organized in centers of competency around excitonic, quantum-dot spin, magnetic, and graphene devices, with emphasis of fabrication and characterization. (Center: State University of New York (SUNY); Director: Prof. Michael Liehr)
STARnet Funded Projects
- Function Accelerated nanoMaterial Engineering (FAME) – focuses on pursuing the physics and solutions, theoretically and experimentally for reducing energy dissipation and continued scaling, and to achieve performance benefits of analog/memory/logic and integrated circuits by exploiting unique properties of noval materials. (Center: University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA); Director: Prof. Jane Pei-Chen Chang)
- Center for Low Energy Systems Technology (LEAST) – focuses on searching new material systems and new switching phenomena (both single particle and collective physics) beyond the III-V TFET for low-voltage, low-power devices and systems. (Center: Notre Dame; Director: Prof. Alan C. Seabaugh)
