| Summary: | Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are typically highlighted for their potential application in gas storage, separations and catalysis. In contrast, the unique prospects these porous and crystalline materials offer for application in electronic devices, although actively developed, are often underexposed. This review highlights the research aimed at the implementation of MOFs as an integral part of solid-state microelectronics. Manufacturing these devices will critically depend on the compatibility of MOFs with existing fabrication protocols and predominant standards. Therefore, it is important to focus in parallel on a fundamental understanding of the distinguishing properties of MOFs and eliminating fabrication-related obstacles for integration. The latter implies a shift from the microcrystalline powder synthesis in chemistry labs, towards film deposition and processing in a cleanroom environment. Both the fundamental and applied aspects of this two-pronged approach are discussed. Critical directions for future research are proposed in an updated high-level roadmap to stimulate the next steps towards MOF-based microelectronics within the community.
This review highlights the steps needed to bring the properties of MOFs from the chemical lab to the microelectronics fab. |

He is also an adjunct associate professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Maryland. He received a BA degree in chemistry from the University of California, San Diego in 1989, and a PhD degree in materials science and engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1995. Prior to joining Sandia, he spent six years at Motorola Labs, and was a project leader at the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. His research focuses on areas of novel electronic materials, energy storage and conversion, and national security. He is a principal editor of the journal MRS Communications. Paolo Falcaro is professor in Biobased Materials and Technologies at Graz University of Technology (TU Graz - Graz, Austria). He received his PhD in materials engineering in 2006 from Bologna University, Italy. From 2005 to 2009 he worked at Civen/Nanofab (Venice, Italy) as manager of the sol-gel technology for industrial applications. In 2009 he joined CSIRO (Melbourne, Australia), extending the expertise from sol-gel and device fabrication to metal-organic frameworks. In 2011 he received the ARC DECRA, progressing from group leader to team leader in 2014. In 2016 he joined the Institute of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry at TU Graz.

Truman Fellow at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, CA. He received his BSE from the University of Michigan and PhD from the Georgia Institute of Technology, both in chemical engineering. His research interests include the experimental synthesis and computational understanding of crystalline, nanoporous materials for materials science and adsorption applications. Ivo Stassen is a Postdoctoral Fellow of the Research Foundation - Flanders (FWO) working at the University of Leuven and Imec. He received his MSc in Bioscience Engineering at KU Leuven in 2012, followed by a PhD in 2016. In 2014-2015, he worked a as visiting scholar at Kyoto University. His research interests include solvent-free and gas-phase synthesis of metal-organic frameworks, host-guest properties and fabrication of functional nanoporous structures such as thin films, patterns and devices. Rob Ameloot obtained his PhD in Bioscience Engineering/Catalytic Technology at KU Leuven (Belgium) in 2011. In 2012-2013, he worked with Jeffrey Long as a Fulbright postdoctoral fellow at UC Berkeley (US). Currently, he is a tenure-track research professor at the KU Leuven Centre for Surface Chemistry and Catalysis. He was awarded an ERC starting grant to work on bringing metal-organic frameworks from the chemistry lab into the microelectronics fab by developing vapor phase thin film deposition routes. In general, he is passionate about pushing the envelope in porous materials and process technology, with a healthy disregard for traditional subject boundaries.
