The significant gap between cutting-edge piezoelectric and hetero-integrated fabrication facilities and university-owned infrastructures in the United States limits experimental scientific research at the system level and educational capabilities for future workforce development nationwide. The proposed Nano Systems Innovation (NanoSI) Mid-scale RI-EW workshop will conduct a deep dive into infrastructure requirements to enable a unique national infrastructure for piezoelectric and hetero-integrated nanosystems. The workshop will concentrate on planning for infrastructure that can better align local research and prototyping capabilities of the universities with advanced semiconductor manufacturing activities. This meeting will enable the solicitation of community-rendered inputs to develop a unique national infrastructure and the required capabilities to address current and future needs. The proposed workshop will enable nationwide community engagement and broad discussion on the required infrastructure to address the aligned needs of all stakeholders in academia, government, and industry. In addition to faculty, industry and government laboratory attendees, the workshop team will intentionally target students and postdocs for attendance. The conference will specifically include invited talks and panels to discuss educational needs of the proposed infrastructure, such as new courses to address required skills in the future of manufacturing of integrated nanosystems and advanced semiconductors. The conference will have an invited talk on lessons learned from early-stage outreach in nanotechnology to explore effective pathways for extension of outreach programs to high school students. The conference, in addition to dedicated student/postdoc engagement personnel, will ensure the engagement and participation of groups underrepresented in science and engineering (e.g., underrepresented minorities, women, and persons with disabilities). The program will include a Women in Engineering (WIE) breakout session anticipated to provide insights toward development of a diverse future workforce.Considering high-impact scientific research needs for state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and the limits of standard research grants to address such needs, Northeastern University will organize a community-wide NanoSI workshop to explore a pathway to close the gap through a unique infrastructure. The workshop will focus on identifying the emerging needs for adaptable infrastructure that can address national research priorities in advanced hetero integration to post-COMS and more than Moore devices. The NanoSI virtual workshop will gather a diverse, multidisciplinary group of experts and leaders across academia, industry, and government to develop a broad vision to support advanced piezoelectric and hetero-integrated nanosystems manufacturing. The gathered thought leaders and field expert speakers will present ideas on all aspects of infrastructure development that will enable the community to address current and future national needs. The discussion panels will focus on thoroughly defining the priorities for all aspects of the infrastructure. The outputs of this broad community engagement on the proposed NanoSI infrastructure will allow the Northeastern team to build a concrete plan with comprehensive community support for future submissions to NSF.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

美国尖端压电和异质集成制造设施与大学拥有的基础设施之间的巨大差距限制了系统层面的实验科学研究和全国未来劳动力发展的教育能力。拟议的纳米系统创新 (NanoSI) 中型 RI-EW 研讨会将深入探讨基础设施要求，以便为压电和异质集成纳米系统建立独特的国家基础设施。该研讨会将重点规划基础设施，以便更好地将大学的本地研究和原型设计能力与先进的半导体制造活动结合起来。这次会议将征求社区提供的意见，以开发独特的国家基础设施和满足当前和未来需求所需的能力。拟议的研讨会将使全国范围内的社区参与并就所需的基础设施进行广泛讨论，以满足学术界、政府和工业界所有利益相关者的一致需求。除了教师、行业和政府实验室的参加者之外，研讨会团队还将专门针对学生和博士后参加。会议将特别包括受邀演讲和小组讨论，以讨论拟议基础设施的教育需求，例如解决未来集成纳米系统和先进半导体制造所需技能的新课程。会议将邀请一场关于纳米技术早期推广的经验教训的演讲，以探索将推广计划扩展到高中生的有效途径。除了专门的学生/博士后参与人员外，会议还将确保科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体（例如代表性不足的少数族裔、妇女和残疾人）的参与和参与。该计划将包括一次工程女性 (WIE) 分组会议，预计将为未来多元化劳动力的发展提供见解。考虑到最先进的制造设施的高影响力科学研究需求以及标准研究拨款的限制为了满足这些需求，东北大学将组织一次全社区范围的 NanoSI 研讨会，探索通过独特的基础设施缩小差距的途径。该研讨会将重点确定对适应性基础设施的新兴需求，这些基础设施可以满足国家研究重点，即先进异质集成到后 COMS 和超越摩尔设备。 NanoSI 虚拟研讨会将聚集学术界、工业界和政府的多元化、多学科专家和领导者小组，以制定支持先进压电和异质集成纳米系统制造的广阔愿景。聚集在一起的思想领袖和现场专家演讲者将提出有关基础设施发展各个方面的想法，使社区能够满足当前和未来的国家需求。讨论小组将重点彻底确定基础设施各个方面的优先事项。社区广泛参与拟议的 NanoSI 基础设施的成果将使 Northeastern 团队能够制定一个具体计划，并获得社区的全面支持，以便未来向 NSF 提交材料。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的评估进行评估，被认为值得支持。智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
