Since the invention of the point contact transistor over 50 years ago, semiconductor technologies have become a ubiquitous mainstay of our Society.  Continued advancements in these technologies rely heavily on materials research spanning many areas including polymer and organic materials which play significant roles as sacrificial, passive and active layers in electronic and photonic devices.   The research outlined in this talk will identify fundamental materials parameters that will allow for the definition of materials architectures leading to sub-nanometer scale dimensional control of features for future semiconductor fabrication technologies.  To enable advanced applications, this control must be extended into the micro- and macro-scales.  Molecular structure and the processing associated with incorporation of materials into devices both play an active role in ultimate performance.  The relationships between these parameters will be explored.
