The EPDT Program seeks to improve the fundamental understanding of devices
and components based on principles of electronics, photonics, electromagnetics,
electro-optics, electromechanics, and related physical phenomena, and to enable
the design of integrated microsystems which define new capabilities and applications.
Experimental and theoretical studies of nanoscale electronic and photonic devices
and principles, use of nanotechnology for device fabrication, and related topics
in quantum engineering and quantum computing are of particular current interest.
Microsensors and microactuators are used in diverse areas ranging from industry
and defense applications to biology and medicine.
Adaptive and reconfigurable devices and low power/low noise electronics are
used in novel network architectures and advanced communications systems.
The program invites proposals for research that can lead to high performance
of micro- and nanoscale devices, components, and materials, advanced methods
of design, modeling, and simulation of devices and components, and improved
techniques for processing, fabrication, and manufacturing, including plasma-based
processing techniques.
