Phase I Site Addition: I/UCRC for Multi-Functional Integrated System Technology (MIST) Center

该项目涉及弗吉尼亚大学（UVA）的多功能集成系统技术（MIST）的产学合作研究中心（IUCRC）。半导体行业正在努力应对摩尔定律的终结和传统数字逻辑电子缩放的放缓。然而，有证据表明，并行扩展到新的领域，如非常规计算和嵌入式应用。特别是物联网（IoT）承诺到2020年将连接多达300亿个智能设备、建筑物、车辆和城市，这些设备嵌入了可以交换数据并真实的反应的软件、传感器和电子设备。虽然物联网应用在软件层面上有很多努力，但该中心的重点是为物联网开发硬件基础。这包括五个研究重点？计算、无线、电源、传感和集成。UVA网站建议增加功能材料，固态器件，光子学，太赫兹传感，热特性，多尺度建模和异构集成的新专业知识。这一领域的竞争前研究将通过展示概念验证低功耗传感器和设备来服务于行业利益，实现尖端的科学和技术研究，为学生提供一个展示研究和促进招聘的平台，并通过面向行业实习的研讨会针对少数民族学生。UVA第一阶段的网站除了IUCRC中心的多功能集成系统技术（MIST）将专注于竞争前的行业相关研究，在物联网时代的智能系统创新。这包括五个研究重点计算，无线，电源，传感和集成？全面瞄准物联网的硬件基础。这将需要具有小尺寸重量和功率（SWaP）的可扩展和嵌入式应用，通常涉及材料的异构集成，以及从太赫兹和RF光子检测到电子处理器的千兆赫兹的大信号带宽的集成。UVA网站建议增加集成探测器处理器阵列的关键专业知识，包括功能材料，固态器件，光子学，太赫兹传感，热表征，多尺度建模和材料集成。这一领域的研究将通过展示概念验证的低功耗传感器和设备来服务于行业利益，实现尖端的科学和技术研究，为学生提供一个展示研究和促进招聘的平台，并通过面向行业实习的研讨会针对少数民族学生。

This project involves a site addition of University of Virginia (UVA) to the Industry-University Cooperative Research Center (IUCRC) for Multifunctional Integrated Systems Technology (MIST). The semiconductor industry is grappling with the end of Moore's Law and a slow-down in electronic scaling for conventional digital logic. However, there is evidence of a parallel expansion into new domains such as unconventional computing and embedded applications. In particular the Internet of Things (IoT) promises by 2020 to connect up to 30 billion smart devices, buildings, vehicles and cities embedded with software, sensors and electronics that can exchange data and react in real time. While there is a lot of effort in IoT applications at the software level, the focus of this center is to develop the hardware base for the IoT. This includes five research thrusts ? computing, wireless, power, sensing and integration. The UVA site proposes to add new expertise in functional materials, solid-state devices, photonics, Terahertz sensing, thermal characterization, multiscale modeling and heterogeneous integration. Pre-competitive research in this area will serve industry interests by demonstrating proof-of-concept low power sensors and devices, enable cutting edge scientific and technological research, provide a platform for students to present research and facilitate recruitment, and target minority students through workshops geared towards industry internship. The UVA Phase I site addition to the IUCRC center for Multifunctional Integrated Systems Technology (MIST) will focus on pre-competitive industry relevant research for smart systems innovations in the IoT era. This includes five research thrusts computing, wireless, power, sensing and integration ? targeting overall the hardware base for the IoT. This will need scalable and embedded applications with small Size-Weight and Power (SWaP), typically involving heterogeneous integration of materials, and integration of a large signal bandwidth from Terahertz and RF-photonic detection to Gigahertz for electronic processors. The UVA site proposes to add critical expertise towards integrated detector-processor arrays, including functional materials, solid-state devices, photonics, Terahertz sensing, thermal characterization, multiscale modeling and material integration.
