This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant awarded under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program provides $554,853 to Wayne State University to investigate new chemical precursors and thin film growth processes for lanthanide metal and lanthanide-silicon thin films. The primary focus is on exploring the synthesis and properties of novel lanthanide molecules for use as thin film growth precursors, as well as utilizing these precursors in atomic layer deposition to grow lanthanide metal and lanthanide-silicon thin films. The research, education, and outreach activities will be enhanced through a collaboration with Applied Materials. Students, including those from underrepresented groups, will participate in 3-month internships at Applied Materials as part of the project. The outcomes of this research have the potential to significantly influence the future development of chemical compounds used in thin film growth for advanced transistor structures in computer chips.
