Atomic Electronics: Precompetitive Research for the Global Semiconductor Industry

澳大利亚的演示表明，硅中的电子器件可以在原子规模上制造，这为全球半导体制造商提供了一个愿景。通过与领先的美国公司合作，解决该行业在试图达到这种规模时面临的问题，该奖学金将确保澳大利亚在不断增长的全球原子级电子研究方面保持领先地位。同样重要的是，通过预测电子设备制造商目前面临的问题，以及他们在长期视野中将面临的问题，拟议中的研究试图为澳大利亚提供一个长期机会，以提升其在价值数万亿美元的全球半导体行业的参与。

The demonstration in Australia that electronic devices in silicon can be fabricated at the atomic-scale has provided a vision for global semiconductor manufacturers. By engaging with leading US companies to tackle the problems industry faces as it attempts to reach this scale, this Fellowship will ensure that Australia remains at the forefront of growing world-wide research into atomic-scale electronics. Equally important, by anticipating the problems that electronic device manufacturers are currently facing, and will face over their long-term horizons, the proposed research seeks to provide Australia with a long-term opportunity to lift its involvement in the multi-trillion dollar global semiconductor industry.
