The National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $310,000 Project Grant to the University of Arizona to support research exploring graphene nanoribbon-based transistors for post-silicon computing. Under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049), a multidisciplinary team led by professors from the University of Arizona, University of California Berkeley, University of Rochester, University of Minnesota Twin Cities, and Colorado School of Mines will conduct research from May 1, 2023 to April 30, 2025 to advance graphene nanoribbon field effect transistor technology. Specifically, the team will work to improve graphene nanoribbon growth and single-device transistor performance, develop n-type graphene nanoribbon field effect transistors, and demonstrate simple graphene nanoribbon circuits. The award also supports investigating capacitive and inductive coupling challenges, certain thermal characteristics, and performing design space exploration for potential graphene nanoribbon-based computing systems and applications. Broader impacts include complementing research activities with workforce development initiatives to address semiconductor industry skill needs.
