- Engineers seek “switchable” materials to power next-generation microelectronicshris Hinkle is on the hunt for new materials. He needs them to power faster, smaller and more efficient chips for next-generation microelectronics, so only materials with the right chemistry and structure will do. “Current materials are not able to keep up with the growing needs for very tightly packed components,” said Hinkle, Leonard C. Bettex Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Notre Dame. “The materials used previously are simply falling short of performance requirements.” Hinkle, who is principal investigator on a new NSF-funded, multi-institutional semiconductor project, is looking for “switchable” semiconductor materials that can either conduct or impede the flow of electricity when activated by an external trigger.
