About this opportunity

The Electronics, Photonics, and Magnetic Devices (EPMD) program seeks to improve the fundamental understanding of devices and components based on the principles of micro- and nanoelectronics, photonics, magnetics, optoelectronics, electromechanics, electromagnetics, and related physical phenomena. The program enables discovery and innovation advancing the frontiers of nanoelectronics, spin electronics, molecular and organic electronics, bioelectronics, non-silicon electronics, flexible electronics, microwave photonics, micro/nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS), sensors and actuators, power electronics, and mixed signal devices. EPMD supports related topics in quantum engineering and novel electromagnetic materials-based high frequency device solutions, radio frequency (RF) integrated circuits, and reconfigurable antennas needed for communications, telemedicine, and other wireless applications. The program supports cooperative efforts with the semiconductor industry on new nanoelectronics concepts beyond the scaling limits of silicon technology. EPMD additionally emphasizes emerging areas of diagnostic, wearable and implantable devices, and supports manipulation and measurement with nanoscale precision through new approaches to extreme ultraviolet metrology.Proposals for the EPMD program may involve collaborative research to capture the breadth of expertise needed for such multidisciplinary integrative activities. ECCS will consider supporting a limited number of small team proposals of three or more investigators from different disciplines and/or universities.Areas of interest include:Usha VarshneyBioelectronics and Biomagnetics Devices Science and Engineering Beyond Moore's Law (SEBML) Quantum Devices Magnetics and Multiferroics Spin Electronics Sensor Devices and TechnologiesJohn Zavada & Dominique DagenaisOptoelectronicsLasers and PhotodetectorsOptical Fiber Components Micro/Nano Photonics Photonic Devices and IntegrationNonlinear OpticsSpectroscopy and Optical ImagingSamir El-GhazalyMicrowave/mm-wave/THz Devices and Circuits Novel and Next Generation Devices Vacuum Devices and Electronics Antennas Electromagnetic Wave Propagation and Scattering Microwave Metamaterials-Based Devices Device/Circuit Simulation and ModelingAnupama KaulFlexible and Printed Electronics Light Emitting Devices and Displays Molecular and Organic Electronics and Photonics Energy-Efficient Green Electronics Next Generation Memories, Memristors, and Other Novel Devices
