This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) is supporting the development of a new class of two-dimensional (2D) oxyhalide semiconductors that are compatible with back-end-of-the-line (BEOL) processing for energy-efficient electronic devices. The $570,000 award to the University of Texas at Dallas will investigate the low-temperature growth of these 2D oxyhalides and their electronic properties, as well as strategies to control chemical doping and electrical contacts - critical challenges for integrating new 2D materials into transistors. The project aims to overcome barriers to using 2D semiconductors in BEOL processing, which can significantly reduce energy consumption compared to traditional chip stacking. In addition, the project will collaborate with the North Texas Semiconductor Institute to develop workforce training programs that address regional shortages of skilled semiconductor technicians and operators.
