This three-year REU Site: Semiconductor Hands-On Research Experience (SHORE) at the University of Michigan seeks to address this workforce need by providing 10-week summer experiential training in nanofabrication of semiconductor materials, devices, and related technologies to cohorts of students. Semiconductor technology is critical to all facets of modern society. From day-to-day consumer activities to state-of-the-art defense needs, the U.S. relies on vigorous innovation, continuous performance improvement, and reliable manufacturing of microelectronics. Expanded domestic production and growth of an expanded and inclusive workforce in this field is urgently needed. To expand the diversity of the semiconductor workforce, the Site will recruit participants in partnership with minority serving institutions (MSIs) and other institutions with limited nanofabrication capabilities. Each year, nine REU students will be recruited to participate in 10-week summer research projects. The REU projects, which will include projects designed alongside MSI faculty partners, will focus on research enabled by the Lurie Nanofabrication Facility. In this way, the REU site will provide opportunities for participants to engage in semiconductor-related research at an experiential level not available at their home institutions, to broaden participation of scientists and engineers who are engaged in semiconductor-related engineering, and to facilitate their path to pursue STEM careers and further graduate studies in the field.This three-year REU Site: Semiconductor Hands-On Research Experience (SHORE) at the University of Michigan seeks to address this workforce need by providing 10-week summer experiential training in nanofabrication of semiconductor materials, devices, and related technologies to cohorts of students. Each year, nine REU students will be recruited to participate in 10-week summer research projects. The research projects performed by the REU Site participants, supervised and mentored by UM faculty and graduate students, will address key research challenges in semiconductor materials and devices, focusing on three thrusts: (1) wide bandgap materials and devices, (2) complex oxide materials and devices, and (3) nanotechnology for devices. These projects will address key societal needs that can be met by semiconductor materials and device innovation such as: photocatalysis for solar fuels and carbon sequestration needed to mitigate the effects of climate change; new materials and integration methods to achieve nanoscale control of electronic properties for the next generation of computational circuits and high-resolution sensors; and innovation in photonics circuits and efficient power conversion devices to reduce global energy consumption. In addition, the REU Site activities will mentor students to develop critical scientific thinking skills and technical expertise. The Site will furthermore provide professional development opportunities, to enable the participants to confidently pursue graduate studies and careers in STEM and nanotechnology. Post-program evaluation will be performed to assess the success of the Site in achieving these goals. The scientific discoveries, technological advances, and hands-on training and career development of diverse cohorts of participants accomplished via this Site will support expanded U.S. leadership in semiconductor technology.This Site is supported in part by funds provided to the National Science Foundation by the Semiconductor Research Corporation.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.

这三年的REU网站：密歇根大学的半导体动手研究经验（海岸）旨在通过为学生提供为期10周的半导体材料，器件和相关技术纳米制造的夏季体验式培训来满足这一劳动力需求。半导体技术对现代社会的各个方面都至关重要。从日常消费活动到最先进的国防需求，美国依赖于积极的创新、持续的性能改进和可靠的微电子制造。迫切需要扩大国内生产，并在这一领域增加包容性的劳动力队伍。为了扩大半导体劳动力的多样性，该网站将与少数民族服务机构（MSI）和其他具有有限纳米制造能力的机构合作招募参与者。每年，9名REU学生将被招募参加为期10周的夏季研究项目。REU项目，其中将包括与MSI教师合作伙伴一起设计的项目，将专注于Lurie Nanofabstract Facility支持的研究。通过这种方式，REU网站将为参与者提供机会，让他们在本国机构无法获得的经验层面上从事与制冷机相关的研究，扩大从事制冷机相关工程的科学家和工程师的参与，并促进他们在该领域追求STEM职业生涯和进一步研究生学习的道路。密歇根大学的半导体动手研究经验（海岸）旨在通过为学生提供为期10周的半导体材料，器件和相关技术纳米制造的夏季体验式培训来满足这一劳动力需求。每年，9名REU学生将被招募参加为期10周的夏季研究项目。由REU网站参与者进行的研究项目，由UM教师和研究生监督和指导，将解决半导体材料和器件的关键研究挑战，重点放在三个方面：（1）宽带隙材料和器件，（2）复合氧化物材料和器件，以及（3）器件的纳米技术。这些项目将解决可以通过半导体材料和器件创新来满足的关键社会需求，例如：用于太阳能燃料的可再生能源和缓解气候变化影响所需的碳封存;新材料和集成方法，以实现对下一代计算电路和高分辨率传感器的电子特性的纳米级控制;以及光子电路和高效功率转换器件的创新，以降低全球能源消耗。此外，REU网站活动将指导学生发展批判性科学思维技能和技术专长。该网站还将提供专业发展机会，使参与者能够自信地追求STEM和纳米技术的研究生学习和职业生涯。将进行项目后评价，以评估研究中心是否成功实现这些目标。科学发现，技术进步，手，通过本网站完成的不同参与者群体的培训和职业发展将支持美国在半导体技术方面的领导地位。本网站部分由半导体研究公司向国家科学基金会提供的资金支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的学术价值和更广泛的影响审查标准。
