Abstract:Research Objectives and Approaches: The objective of this research is to study and optimize the interactions of nanoparticles in memory and photonic devices. Activities carried out under this project will include the formation and thermal stability of nanocrystals of the right size, size distribution and spacing by three viable methods, understanding electron injection into the metallic and semiconductor nanoparticles, understanding electron transfer between nanoparticles and the adjacent dielectric material and integrating nanoparticles in emerging memory and photonic devices such as FinFLASH and FinLight. Intellectual Merit The success of the proposed activity will result in high performance memory and photonics devices which are fully compatible with CMOS. This will be accompanied by gaining fundamental insight into the interface between nanocrystals and its surrounding dielectrics. The collaboration with industry leaders in memory area will further solidify the approaches used in this work and transition them into viable manufacturable processes. Broader Impact: The successful implementation of robust nanoparticle based devices will open up new opportunities not only in electronics but also in emerging areas such as biosensors and energy efficiency. PIs at both institutions will develop educational programs such as undergraduate nanolab course, development of a a nanocamp for high school students, an engineer?s week for even younger students, and career fairs for minorities for graduate schools which will enrich the student experience and also increase diversity of the education workforce. In addition, industrial internships provided to the graduate students will foster communication of industry needs to the university, while providing a highly trained workforce for industry in the future.

摘要：研究目标和方法：这项研究的目的是研究和优化纳米颗粒在记忆和光子设备中的相互作用。在该项目下进行的活动将包括通过三种可行尺寸，尺寸分布和间距的纳米晶体的形成和热稳定性，了解将电子注入金属和半导体纳米颗粒，了解纳米颗粒之间的电子传递以及邻近的介电材料以及介电材料以及邻近介电材料以及邻近的介电材料以及将纳米颗粒集成在新兴内存和光子设备（例如Finflash和Finlight）中。知识分子值得提出的活动的成功将导致高性能记忆和与CMO完全兼容的光子设备。这将伴随着对纳米晶体及其周围电介质之间的界面的基本见解。与内存领域的行业领导者的合作将进一步巩固这项工作中使用的方法，并将其转变为可行的可行过程。更广泛的影响：基于纳米颗粒的设备的成功实施不仅在电子产品中，而且还将在生物传感器和能源效率等新兴地区开放新的机会。这两个机构的PI都将开发教育计划，例如本科生Nanolab课程，为高中生开发纳米宾夕法尼亚课程，即使是年轻学生的工程师一周，以及为研究生院的少数群体的职业展览会，这将使学生体验丰富并增加教育劳动力的多样性。此外，提供给研究生的工业实习将促进大学的行业沟通需求，同时为未来的行业提供训练有素的劳动力。
