建议编号：ECCS-2111191首席研究员：Kang L.Wang(Pi)和Subramanian Iyer(co-Pi)机构：加州大学洛杉矶分校提案标题：NSF关于半导体及以后的未来：器件和技术非技术摘要：美国在过去一个世纪通过科学和工程方面的变革性创新创造了半导体微电子产业。然而，在过去20年里，在前所未有的最激烈的全球竞争中，我们的领导优势已经严重侵蚀。拟议中的“美国国家科学基金会半导体及以后的未来：器件和放大器技术研讨会”的目标是研究和确定半导体创新和制造生态系统、基础设施和劳动力方面的挑战，这些挑战需要被克服，以促进创新，创造一个“新硅谷”，确保美国的经济繁荣和国家安全。将就这些已确定的方向拟订若干后续讲习班，以详细说明这些战略。研究结果将向NSF提出一系列建议，以支持研究、基础设施、制造以及半导体教育和培训的新生态系统；并孵化从研发到制造和商业化所需的整个综合人才链。技术摘要：研讨会将推荐研究战略，以确定和制定科学和技术方向，以确保美国在半导体领域的领导地位。研讨会的方法是让所有利益攸关方的最高领导人讨论在更广泛的半导体领域创新的想法和制定战略方向，这些领域包括器件、材料、半导体技术和制造、集成电路、系统和架构、设计方法和平台、异质集成以及构成微电子创新全链的半导体制造、计量和表征设备研发。智力优势将包括纵向上在计算、通信、人工智能(AI)、物联网(IOT)、未来制造等领域学到的知识，以及横向上在医疗保健、交通运输、能源、安全和未来产业方面学到的知识。所学到的知识也将有助于整个未来半导体行业的发展，并将对影响日常生活的科学和工程产生更广泛的影响。该研讨会旨在确定帮助美国重新获得半导体领域领导地位的关键战略，半导体领域对社会经济繁荣和国家安全至关重要。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Proposal Number: ECCS-2111191Principal Investigator: Kang L. Wang (PI) & Subramanian Iyer (co-PI)Institution: University of California, Los AngelesProposal Title: NSF Workshop on Future of Semiconductor and Beyond: Devices and TechnologiesNon-Technical Abstract:The U.S. created the semiconductor microelectronics industry through transformative innovations in science and engineering over the past century. However, our leadership advantage has severely eroded over the past two decades amid the stiffest global competition never been experienced before. The goal of the proposed “NSF Workshop on Future of Semiconductors and Beyond: Devices & Technologies” is to research and identify the challenges in semiconductor innovation and manufacturing ecosystems, infrastructure, and workforce, which need to be overcome for fostering innovation to create a “new Silicon Valley”, which will ensure the U.S. economic prosperity and national security. Several follow-up workshops on these identified directions will be formulated to detail the strategies. The results will produce a set of recommendations to NSF for supporting the new ecosystems of innovation in research, infrastructures, manufacturing, and education and training in semiconductors; and incubate the entire chain of comprehensive talent necessary from research and development to manufacturing and commercialization. Technical Abstract:The workshop will recommend research strategy to identify and formulate the scientific and technical directions to assure the US leadership in semiconductors. The workshop approach is to include the top leaders of all stakeholders to discuss ideas and formulate strategic directions for innovation in broader areas of semiconductors, including devices, materials, semiconductor technologies and manufacturing, integrated circuits, and systems and architectures, design methodologies and platform, heterogeneous integration, and semiconductor fabrication, metrology and characterization equipment research and development comprising the full chain of innovation in microelectronics. Intellectual merits will include the knowledge learned, vertically, in computing, communications, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IOT), future manufacturing, and others, as well as, horizontally, in health care, transportations, energy, security, and the industries of future. The knowledge learned will also help the development of the entire future semiconductor sector and will have broader impacts on science and engineering that affect the daily life. This workshop aims to identify the critical strategies to help the U.S. to regain the leadership position in semiconductors, which is vital to the socio-economic prosperity and national security.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
