Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Electronic Materials, Devices and Systems

9506732 Pandey该奖项为德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校先进电子设备和系统中心与德克萨斯农工大学电子设备和材料小组之间建立的多校电子材料、器件和系统产业/大学合作研究中心提供资金。这两个网站的研究活动是相辅相成的，这将使中心能够扩大其研究活动，并丰富其行业会员基础。这个合并的中心在块状单膜和薄膜生长、电子材料的表征和工艺建模、用于生产多层和异质结构器件的分子束外延(MBE)和脉冲激光沉积(PLD)、快速热处理、制造和器件评估(光纤传感器、集成光学、半导体激光器、微波和毫米波电路和器件、超导器件、铁电器件和光学仪器)、器件建模和仿真方面拥有专业知识。德克萨斯大学阿灵顿分校将在运作的头两年协调这两个研究地点之间的活动。行业咨询委员会将在第二年年底审查和讨论继续履行这一协调职责的问题。首席研究人员在开发这个多大学中心方面进行了合作。他们有出色的背景和执行拟议计划所需的经验。各大学也表现出了支持这一多大学中心的坚定承诺。这项提议与电气和通信系统部门的项目主任Marvin White博士进行了协调。项目主任建议德克萨斯农工大学在五年持续奖励的第一年获得50,000美元。第2页每12个月结束时，项目主任和/或工程教育和中心处处长将审查中心在一系列更新标准方面的进展，包括以下内容：1)行业/大学互动的发展程度；2)合作的、强大的研究计划发展的程度；以及3)支持基础发展的程度。如果审查结果令人满意，项目主管将建议对下一阶段的持续奖励提供支持。Jay Lee项目总监，I/UCRC

9506732 Pandey This award provides funding for the establishment of a multi- university Industry/University Cooperative Research Center on Electronic Materials, Devices, and Systems between the Center for Advanced Electron Devices and Systems at the University of Texas - Arlington and the Electronic Devices and Materials Group at Texas A&M University. The research activities of these two sites are complimentary and this operation will enable the Center to expand its research activities and enrich their industrial membership base. This consolidated Center has expertise in bulk single and thin film growth, characterization and process modeling of electronic materials, Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), and Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) for the production of multi-layer and heterostructure devices, rapid thermal processing, fabrication, and evaluation of devices (fiber-optics sensors, integrated optics, semiconductor lasers, microwave and millimeter wave circuits and devices, superconductor devices, ferroelectric devices, and optical instrumentation), device modeling and simulation. The University of Texas - Arlington will coordinate the activities between these two research sites during the first two years of operation. The continuation of this coordination responsibility will be reviewed and discussed by the Industry Advisory board at the end of the second year. The Principal Investigators have worked collaboratively in developing this multi-university Center. They have excellent background and the experiences necessary to carry out the proposed plan. The universities have also shown strong commitment in supporting this multi-university Center. This proposal has been coordinated with Dr. Marvin White, Program Director, Division of Electrical and Communications Systems. The Program Director recommends Texas A&M University be awarded $50,000 for the first year of a five-year continuing award. Page 2 Near the end of each 12-month period the Program Director and/or the Division Director of the Engineering Education and Centers Division will review the progress of the Center on a number of renewal criteria, including the following: 1) the extent to which the industry/university interaction is developing; 2) the extent to which a collaborative, robust research program is developing; and 3) the extent to which the support base is developing. If the review is satisfactory, the Program Director will recommend support for the next period of this continuing award. Jay Lee Program Director, I/UCRC
