A new Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) system funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) will harness artificial intelligence to enhance the discovery and development of sustainable semiconductor materials. Set to be installed at the National Epitaxy Facility in Sheffield, this advanced equipment aims to explore unique material combinations, including semiconductors and superconductors, to foster revolutionary device concepts. With the global semiconductor industry valued at £900 billion, and the recent shortages highlighting the need for secure supply chains, the initiative underscores the importance of developing environmentally sustainable semiconductors from abundant materials such as zinc and aluminium. Professor Jon Heffernan emphasized the critical role of semiconductors in modern technology, while the UK government has also introduced a £4.75 million semiconductor skills package to bolster research and talent in this crucial field.
