2021 Bronze Medal Award
AWARD CITATION
The group is recognized for creating new methods to make silicon electronic and quantum devices with active atomic-scale components. The team developed techniques to isotopically enrich silicon one hundred times purer than ever before, ensuring that the silicon surrounding the devices does not corrupt device operation; to contact these buried atom-scale devices; and to precisely place atoms one-by-one to make atomic-scale devices. Their work extends Moore’s scaling law to its final frontier and creates a route toward commercial silicon quantum technologies.
