Functional Thin Films for Novel Electronic Devices

About

The research group “Functional Thin Films for Novel Electronic Devices” pursues a technology-driven experimental approach to develop and optimize nanoscale memory devices for neuromorphic applications. The focus is on understanding and controlling the behavior of the devices by adjusting layer and interface properties, starting with the growth and characterization of nanometer-thin layers of metal oxides and 2D materials by atomic layer deposition and chemical vapor deposition. The main goals are a physical understanding and the development and optimization of novel nanoscale components and assemblies for use in energy-efficient neuromorphic circuits. A current focus is on nanoscale memristive components, their optimization, realization in three-dimensional structures and integration on neuromorphic chips with current technology nodes.

Research Topics

  • Nanoscale electronic devices from metal oxides and 2D materials integrated on neuromorphic circuits
  • Optimization of device properties by advanced thin film growth and integration technology and nano-scale characterization methods
  • Physics of amorphous and nanocrystalline thin films, and interface effects that influence film and device properties
