The future of semiconductor manufacturing will require the design and deployment of diverse new technologies in materials, chemical and materials processes, devices, and architectures through the development of application-driven systems. The goal of this solicitation is to cultivate a broad coalition of researchers and educators from across science and engineering communities that utilizes a holistic, co-design approach to fundamental research and workforce education and training, to enable rapid progress in new semiconductor technologies.

The technological drivers include the need to: dramatically reduce the energy consumption of computation and communication technologies reduce the impact of device and system manufacturing on the environment increase performance speed and capacity and develop new computing systems. This holistic, co-design approach can more rapidly create high-performance, robust, secure, compact, energy-efficient, and cost-effective solutions. The benefits of a co-design approach as a principal methodology to advance semiconductor technology have been widely recognized in a variety of government and industry studies. The materials, devices, and systems need to be co-designed, that is, they need to be designed with simultaneous consideration of elements of the technology chain. Closing that gap between the essential components in the technology chain is now required to ensure further progress. The developments in these underpinning areas have often progressed independent of the application area, which has delayed their incorporation into the next-generation technologies.
The technology has expanded following the trends in miniaturization long characterized by Moore’s Law, underpinned by new materials, processes, devices, and architectures. Continued advances in the capabilities of many technologies as well as the cost of the applications of these technologies across computing, sensing, and communications are threatened. The current state of semiconductor microelectronic systems is at a crossroads.
