About Nano Materials Research at FENA
FCRP Legacy Content
FCRP Phase V ended on 31-Jan-2013, and this content may no longer be current.
Longer term microelectronics research is now being sponsored by DARPA and industry participants in STARnet (FCRP Phase VI).
Overview
Professor Kang Wang, Center Director
Research in Nano Materials is conducted by the Focus Center on Functional Engineered Nano Architectonics (FENA). Its research mission is "To discover new nanoelectronics materials and physical processes of devices, which enable extensible information processing systems with enhanced functionality and to create new applications for the semiconductor and defense industries."
Leveraging FENA's years of experience with its established technical competencies and development of an excellent administrative infrastructure will propel FENA towards exciting frontier nanomaterials, novel devices and assessment of their fundamental scientific and technological limits.
Research Focus
FENA's focus enables the extension of cost effective dimensional and functional scaling requiring the discovery and development of device centric new material design, synthesis, assembly, switching concepts, state variables, fabrication and integration paradigms. Each of the six FENA themes is led by a prominent leader in their respective field.
- Physical Fabrics & Drivers
- Processes and Devices
- Carbon Electronics
- Correlated Electron Materials
- Functional Materials
- Patterning and Assembly
