This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $425,000 to the University of Washington is focused on developing high-speed perovskite light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for optical interconnects and data transmission. The key objectives are to:

  1. Engineer perovskite semiconductor materials and device designs to minimize resistance and increase LED modulation bandwidth.
  2. Optimize modulation formats using data-driven learning for high-bandwidth operation.
  3. Develop a process for monolithic integration of perovskite micro-LEDs on silicon to minimize parasitics, improve system-level modulation bandwidth, and reduce energy consumption.

This research aims to advance optical interconnect and data transmission technologies to address the exponential growth in global data traffic and energy consumption of information processing and computing systems. The project will run from September 2024 through August 2027.
