Engineering Heterogeneous Materials and Devices for 3D-Integrated Energy-Efficient Electronics
With the rise in global data demands, energy efficiency in electronics has become a defining challenge for sustainable progress in AI, healthcare, IoT, and beyond. Today’s electronics, constrained by materials and architectures that separate computing and memory, are approaching their energy and latency limits for data-intensive applications. Emerging solutions such as 3D integration of logic and memory devices offer great promise; however, their realization requires innovations in materials, transport physics, device engineering, and semiconductor-compatible fabrication. I will discuss how atomic-scale engineering and integrating heterogeneous materials and devices can address these intertwined challenges in this talk. I will highlight two examples from our work: (1) electro-thermal and interface engineering in chalcogenide heterostructures enabling low-power memory on both rigid and flexible platforms, and (2) exceptional surface transport and reduced electrical resistivity in non-crystalline semimetals, introducing new avenues in low-resistance electronics. I will conclude with my group’s vision for advancing heterogeneous materials and multifunctional nanodevices to drive the future of 3D-integrated, energy-efficient electronics.
