NIST Awards $2.5 Million to Purdue-led Consortium for Advanced Semiconductor Research
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has awarded its first grant to a new research consortium focused on developing innovative semiconductor materials and technologies. Led by Purdue University, the NEW LIMITS consortium brings together researchers from the University of Texas at Dallas, Penn State University, the University of Michigan, and Stanford University.
The consortium, funded through the Nanoelectronics Computing Research (nCORE) consortium, aims to create new materials and approaches that can outperform traditional CMOS technologies. As the semiconductor industry faces the fundamental limits of conventional CMOS materials, NEW LIMITS will explore new ways to create, integrate, and evaluate advanced materials for future computing and storage technologies.
The research will focus on five key areas identified by the nCORE group, with the goal of developing low-energy devices and technologies that can outperform traditional CMOS materials. NIST’s support of this research aims to promote U.S. innovation and industrial competitiveness in the rapidly evolving field of semiconductor technology.
