Professors Zafer Mutlu of the University of Arizona, Michael Crommie of the University of California, Berkeley, Selcuk Kose of the University of Rochester, Ulya R. Karpuzcu of the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, and Mehmet E. Belviranli of Colorado School of Mines are supported by the NSF Future of Semiconductors (FuSe) Program to assemble a multidisciplinary team of experts from five institutions to identify and investigate the challenges facing graphene nanoribbon-based field effect transistor (GNRFET) computing system at the material, device, circuit, and system levels. Graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), a one-dimensional (1D) material with superb electrical, electronic, thermal, and power consumption properties, have recently emerged as a promising candidate to replace silicon-based transistors. The road to large-scale production of GNR materials, transistors, and associated devices could take decades using existing scientific processes and educational models. In this team-building effort, the interdisciplinary research team will accelerate this process through a holistic model based on co-design principles. The initial planning phase focuses on seeding synergy and establishing research connections with new stakeholders from academia and industry. The research activities are complemented by a comprehensive educational and workforce development plan addressing skilled labor needs at all levels and stages of the semiconductor industry. Workshops are planned to facilitate the involvement of students and teachers from diverse populations and institutions, including community colleges, and professionals from the semiconductor industry. In this project, a thorough exploration of the post-silicon semiconductor technology will be undertaken at different layers of abstraction. The short-term goal is to advance GNRFET technology, design basic logic gates, and benchmark circuits through discovery of nonconventional semiconducting materials suitable for processing and integration in devices. The specific targets are to improve the growth of GNRs and the single-device performance of GNRFETs, to develop n-type GNRFETs, and to build and demonstrate simple GNR circuits. Capacitive and inductive coupling challenges, as well as certain thermal characteristics of GNRFETs, will be investigated. A design space exploration towards GNRFET-based computing systems will be performed. The performance, energy and thermal behavior of potential applications will be theoretically modeled.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.

Karpuzcu of the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, and Mehmet E. Belviranli of Colorado School of Mines are supported by the NSF Future of Semiconductors (FuSe) Program to assemble a multidisciplinary来自五个机构的专家团队来识别和调查基于石墨烯纳米纤维的现场效应晶体管（GNRFET）计算系统所面临的挑战。 石墨烯纳米容器（GNRS）是一种具有出色的电气，电子，热和功耗特性的一维（1D）材料，最近已成为替代基于硅晶体管的有前途的候选人。大规模生产GNR材料，晶体管和相关设备的道路可能需要使用现有的科学过程和教育模型数十年。 在这项团队建设的工作中，跨学科研究团队将通过基于共同设计原则的整体模型来加速这一过程。最初的计划阶段着重于播种协同作用并与学术界和行业的新利益相关者建立研究联系。 一项全面的教育和劳动力发展计划补充了研究活动，该计划满足了半导体行业的各个级别和阶段的熟练劳动需求。 计划举办讲习班，以促进来自不同人口和机构的学生和教师的参与，包括社区大学以及来自半导体行业的专业人员。 在这个项目中，将在不同的抽象层进行透彻对塞利卡后半导体技术进行彻底探索。 短期目标是通过发现适用于设备中处理和集成的非常规半导体材料来推进GNRFET技术，设计基本逻辑门和基准电路。 具体目标是改善GNR的增长和GNRFET的单个设备性能，开发N型GNRFET，并构建和展示简单的GNR电路。将研究电容性和电感耦合挑战，以及GNRFET的某些热特性。将对基于GNRFET的计算系统进行设计空间探索。理论上将对潜在应用的性能，能量和热行为进行建模。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准，被认为值得通过评估来获得支持。
