The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) received a $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Industrial Innovation to develop a new patterning system for accelerated microchip design and manufacturing. Funded through the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), MIT aims to introduce an advanced manufacturing technology enabling flexible and rapid microchip patterning with high throughput. Specifically, the project focuses on engineering reconfigurable materials whose optical properties can be electrically altered at small scales and applying these materials to control light transmission for on-demand microchip pattern design and adaptation. If successful, the resulting technology could reduce microchip fabrication costs and enable faster turnaround by allowing dynamic photomask patterns instead of static, multi-million dollar mask sets required for each new design. The work includes optimizing responsive materials, understanding their properties, and integrating them into lithography systems to improve pattern transfer processes for scalable microchip manufacturing. Completion is scheduled for November 2023.
