This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) provides $500,000 to Northeastern University to develop the first AlScN microelectromechanical RF bandpass filter capable of activating tunable and sharp notches within its passband for effective electromagnetic interference (EMI) suppression. The "SHIELD" project will leverage expertise in micro-/nanofabrication, spintronics, and microwave acoustics to create this "spinphonic" technology, which will achieve the widest fractional bandwidth ever reported for AlScN filters by harnessing the acoustic properties of phononic crystals. The new filter will also use magnon-phonon coupling in a ferromagnetic film to attenuate EMI by over 40 dB, enabling a two order of magnitude reduction in bit-error rates for EMI-affected wireless transceivers. The award term runs from Apr 2025 to Mar 2028 and includes collaboration with Northeastern's STEM education program to engage K-12 students, community colleges, and local schools.
