The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is offering this grant to foster innovation in carbon-based molecular electronics. This Basic Research Challenge aims to advance bottom-up chemical synthesis and assembly of carbon, particularly graphene, into electronic devices and circuits with atomic precision. This grant seeks to overcome the limitations of current top-down fabricated graphene devices, which are often too large and suffer from edge roughness that obscures intrinsic properties. The long-term vision is to enable a new form of molecular electronics, where single giant carbon molecules function as complex electronic, magnetic, or optical devices. Ultimately, this research aims to facilitate a hierarchical approach, seamlessly integrating atomically precise nanoscale structures with microscale systems.

| Description: | The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is interested in receiving proposals on carbon-based molecular electronics. The objective of this Basic Research Challenge (BRC) program is to encourage research and innovation in bottom-up chemical synthesis and assembly of carbon, particularly graphene, based electronic devices and circuits with atomic precision and Angstrom resolution. The program will address the challenges and limitations in top-down fabricated graphene nanoelectronic devices, where structures are too large (limited by lithography) and intrinsic graphene properties are often masked by edge roughness and hard to measure. The long term vision of the program is to enable a new kind of molecular electronics a single giant molecule made of carbon or other related materials that functions as electronic, magnetic or optical devices or circuits. We envision a future when we will build large scale electronic systems in a hierarchical fashion, where nanoscale objects built with atomic precision and up to the size of , say ~ 1 μm, will seamlessly interface with microscale systems, built with top-down lithographic techniques (i.e., top-down meets bottom-up). ***** |
