Arizona State University was awarded a $200,280 project grant from the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory to support the "MBE SYSTEM UPGRADE FOR GROUP-IV ALLOYS AND OTHER EMERGING COMPOUND SEMICONDUCTORS FOR HETEROVALENT INTEGRATION" project. The funding falls under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800), which aims to maintain Air Force technological superiority through research preventing technological surprise and creating it for adversaries.
Specifically, the grant will support upgrading molecular beam epitaxy systems to grow Group-IV alloys and other emerging compound semiconductors, enabling heterovalent integration of these materials. The project aims to advance semiconductor material integration, with work performed at Arizona State University from February 15, 2022 to February 14, 2024. As the parent organization of the awardee, Arizona State University will oversee delivery of the research objectives through the $200k in funding.
