The National Science Foundation awarded a $355,714 Project Grant to the University of Rochester under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program. The grant supports research to develop an innovative, scalable nanomanufacturing platform for area-selective atomic layer deposition of components for ultra-efficient optoelectronic devices. The goal is to pioneer a continuous, energy-efficient manufacturing approach that enables novel three-dimensional chip designs not reliant on unsustainable miniaturization. The research aims to address challenges that preclude widespread implementation of atomic layer deposition and etching techniques by integrating universal resist materials, in-situ resist regeneration, and universal photo-initiated resist patterning into a single continuous manufacturing process compatible with varied substrates and chemistries. If successful, this scalable platform could significantly reduce manufacturing energy requirements and help alleviate projected growth in global energy demand from optoelectronic devices. The three-year project completion date is March 31, 2026.
