SINAM OVERVIEW While exciting nano scientific discoveries stream continually from research laboratories, due to the lack of new manufacturing paradigms, scaling to industrial level production still faces critical challenges. We envision two main challenges critical to expedite the nano-technology revolution: (1) the ability to do lithography below 20 nm, and (2) the ability to fabricate 3D complex nanostructures. The wide range and high complexity of nano-engineered systems and products requires an integrated multidisciplinary nano-manufacturing research approach. To tackle these grand challenges, the Center for Scalable and Integrated NAno Manufacturing (SINAM), an NSF Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center, set its goal to establish a new manufacturing paradigm that integrates an array of new nano-manufacturing technologies. Founded in 2003, SINAM brings together an exceptional team of scientists and engineers from University of California Los Angeles, University of California Berkeley, Stanford University, Northwestern University, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and HP Labs. SINAM will work together with its academic and industrial partners to accelerate the development of nano technology innovations. SINAM’s integrated research and education platform will have wide and profound impacts on human life experience through applications in computing, telecommunication, photonics, biotechnology, health care and national security. The new manufacturing paradigm to be developed will greatly impact human society, its future and its history, just as the steam engine and the microelectronics revolution have done before.
