This grant is a continuation of: N000141410200 Fully Integrated 2D Nanomaterials for High-Performance
Abstract
Objective: PI will conduct research that crosses the boundaries of materials science, thermal science, and device physics for the purpose of heterogeneous integration of 2D atomic sheets on soft substrates for advanced flexible nanoelectronics for the first time.Approach: To achieve the objective of the project, the research effort will be composed of three connected thrusts:Thrust 1: 2D Nanomaterial Synthesis and Electrochemical Delamination. Facile routes to synthesize homogeneous and heterogeneous sheets of 2D nanomaterials and resist-free methods for direct transfer onto soft substrates using techniques such as electrochemical delamination.Thrust 2: Integrated 2D Flexible Nanoelectronics. Focused research to integrate 2D nanomaterials onto a monolithic flexible substrate and evaluate digital, analog and RF device physics and performance.Thrust 3: Thermal Studies and Temperature Reduction on Soft Substrates. First experimental studies of heat management generated by the active channel on soft substrates, and methods to reduce the hot spot temperatures using heat spreader and heat insulating layers such as anisotropic hexagonal boron-nitride (hBN).ONR Mission/Relevance: Graphene is a strategic research thrust of ONR nanoelectronics program. One of the key advantages of graphene and other true two-dimensional (2D) materials is that we can conteplate building high speed functioning electronics circuits on low-cost flexible plastic substrates. If successful, flexible graphene electronics will enable revolutionary new capabilities with reduced SWaP and cost.
