Framing The Problem
While materials form the foundation of semiconductor devices, advances in device technology are rapidly outpacing the capabilities of conventional materials and manufacturing methods. To sustain this momentum, the industry urgently needs transformative innovation in materials science to overcome current limitations and fuel the next generation of device breakthroughs.
Microelectronic devices rely on a complex mix of metals, insulators, and semiconductors. A longstanding priority in the industry has been to identify dielectric materials that enhance signal speed, thermal stability, and power efficiency, especially those with ultra-low dielectric constants approaching that of a vacuum. Advanced devices, such as Gate-All-Around and Ribbon-FET transistors, demand insulators with diverse properties and specialized functions to support their high-performance requirements.
Conventional methods for materials discovery are labor-intensive, often relying on brute-force approaches that consume excessive time and resources. Innovation now hinges on the ability to identify materials with specific physical, chemical, electrical, and mechanical properties—each optimized for complex device demands.

This specialized, knowledge-driven approach enhances traditional AI workflows, producing precise, industry-relevant insights that empower semiconductor designers to maintain their innovation advantage.
Through continuous validation of use cases, we demonstrate the robust capabilities of our platform to address the semiconductor industry’s most pressing demands. This powerful combination of advanced technology and domain-specific knowledge enables semiconductor leaders to advance device capabilities precisely and ensures a sustainable competitive advantage in a rapidly evolving landscape.
Discussion and Conclusions
The semiconductor industry stands at a pivotal moment where advances in materials science will shape the trajectory of technological progress. IIP and materialsIN’s approach, integrating data-centric methodologies with deep expertise in materials science, directly addresses this need by accelerating the discovery of materials with highly specific properties, such as the ultra-low dielectric constants critical for next-generation device architectures. Using our proprietary digital twin framework, we replicate complex material behaviors virtually, enabling efficient testing of thousands of candidate materials. This capability not only accelerates material discovery but also reduces reliance on costly experimental setups, delivering high-impact solutions at an unprecedented pace.
Our platform facilitates materials discovery and process optimization by uncovering hidden relationships among chemistry, process technology, and materials, enabling industry leaders to adopt a data-centric, innovation-driven culture that maximizes productivity. While the discovery of novel materials marks a critical milestone, IIP and materialsIN recognize that manufacturable solutions must also meet stringent industry standards. Our collaboration addresses each stage of the materials lifecycle, from initial chemical and process identification to scale-up and manufacturing models, ensuring that materials achieve the cost, quality, performance, and environmental specifications required for future device manufacturing.
As the semiconductor industry drives toward ever-greater miniaturization and performance, the demand for innovative materials with precisely tailored properties becomes increasingly urgent. IIP and materialsIN are poised to redefine the pace of materials innovation. Our work not only advances material discovery but also establishes a new industry paradigm where data-centric, AI-powered approaches unlock unprecedented opportunities for performance optimization and sustainable growth. Through pathways designed for seamless scalability, from materials discovery to full-scale manufacturing, we are fostering a sustainable pipeline of novel materials that meet the semiconductor sector’s rigorous performance and environmental standards, ultimately supporting the next era of technological advancement.
