Basics2Breakthroughs: Optimizing materials for next-generation microelectronics

The tiny microchips that power modern technologies are already an impressive feat of science and engineering, but Qi Zhang seeks to push the boundaries even further. As part of the Center for X-Ray Optics in Berkeley Lab’s Material Sciences Division, Zhang is studying the fundamental properties of the resist materials used for patterning and the channel materials that carry signals. These foundational scientific insights enable us to develop smaller, faster, and more energy efficient chips—pushing well beyond Moore's Law.
