I/UCRC Phase I: Multi-functional Integrated System Technology (MIST)

多功能集成系统技术（MIST） I/UCRC是由三个主要的研究/行业趋势驱动的：超越当前集成电路持续传统缩放的挑战(摩尔？s法);2)。探索多功能系统的材料，工艺，设备和电路交叉点的新功能；和3)。将纳米级材料集成到微/纳米系统制造中。通过行业驱动的合作研究计划，MIST中心将促进跨学科混合，以催化创新机会，例如在芯片（SoC）或系统中封装（SiP）的同一系统上结合计算，传感，驱动和能量存储/生成。MIST中心打算为下一代集成电子系统路线图的定义做出贡献。MIST中心的研究旨在将工业界和学术界联系起来，并将材料科学，电子学，磁学，声学，光子学，微流体器件，MEMS和电路的研究进展与社会相关技术联系起来。拟议的MIST I/UCRC计划整合一个强大的互补研究团队，培养精通中心的下一代研究生。在美国开展竞争前研究，积极招募和指导来自科学和工程领域代表性不足的群体的参与者，并与工业成员公司、政府机构和协会合作。

The Multi-functional Integrated System Technology (MIST) I/UCRC is motivated by three major research/industry trends: 1.) Stepping beyond the current challenge of continued conventional scaling of integrated circuits (Moore?s Law); 2.) Exploring new functionalities at intersections of materials, processes, devices, and circuits for multi-functional systems; and 3.) Integrating nanoscale materials into micro/nanosystem manufacturing. Through industry-driven collaborative research initiatives, interdisciplinary mixing will be promoted at the MIST Center in order to catalyze innovation opportunities such as combinations of computing, sensing, actuation, and energy storage/generation on the same system on a chip (SoC) or system in package (SiP). The MIST Center intends to contribute to the definition of the roadmap to next-generation integrated electronic systems.Research at the MIST Center aims to link industry and academia and connect research advances in materials science, electronics, magnetics, acoustics, photonics, microfluidic devices, MEMS, and circuits to societally relevant technologies. The proposed MIST I/UCRC plans to integrate a strong team of complementary investigators, train the next generation of graduate students who are versed in the center?s precompetitive research, actively recruit and mentor participants from underrepresented groups in science and engineering drawing on programs at each center site, and team with industrial member companies, governmental agencies, and associations.
