9753096 PI : Broadbridge Institution : Trinity College Microstructural, Optical and Electrical Properties of Thin Film Silica Aerogels as a Function of Processing Method Silica aerogels, prepared by sol-gel processing, are highly porous (typically 75%) materials with unique morphology, resulting in exceptional thermal, acoustic, mechanical and electrical properties. While bulk aerogels have been studied extensively, thin film aerogels have not been studied to any significant extent, and promise significant impact in a number of electrical and thermal applications. In this study, Prof. Broadbridge will focus on the application of thin-film silica aerogels as low-k interlayer dielectrics with potential utilisation in intergrated circuit technology. The PI will engage in a collaborative research endeavor at Trinity College and Brown University. Funding provided will impact students at Trinity College, exposing undergraduates to the challenges of state-of-the-art engineering research endeavors. This funding is also expected to provide Dr. Broadbridge with opportunity to forge a long-lasting research relationship with Brown University, thereby allowing her to establish a significant integrated research and education program. This project is being funded through the Learning and Intelligent Systems (LIS) Initiative, with funds partially provided by the MPS/OMA office.

9753096 PI：Broadbridge研究所：三一学院薄膜二氧化硅气凝胶的微结构、光学和电学特性作为加工方法的一项功能，通过溶胶-凝胶工艺制备的二氧化硅气凝胶是高度多孔(通常为75%)的材料，具有独特的形貌，因此具有优异的热、声、机械和电学性能。虽然块状气凝胶已经得到了广泛的研究，但薄膜气凝胶还没有得到任何重大的研究，并有望在许多电气和热学应用中产生重大影响。在这项研究中，布罗德布里奇教授将重点介绍薄膜二氧化硅气凝胶作为低k层间介质在集成电路技术中的潜在应用。PI将参与三一学院和布朗大学的合作研究工作。提供的资金将影响三一学院的学生，使本科生面临最先进的工程研究努力的挑战。预计这笔资金还将为布罗德布里奇博士提供与布朗大学建立长期研究关系的机会，从而使她能够建立一个重要的综合研究和教育项目。该项目由学习和智能系统(LIS)倡议提供资金，部分资金由MPS/OMA办公室提供。
