ForLab DCST

A project at Dresden University of Technology TUD

Components and simple circuits based on nanowires or 2D materials are developed by the Research Laboratory Microelectronics Dresden for Reconfigurable Electronics.

The Dresden Microelectronics Research Laboratory for Reconfigurable Electronics is developing components and simple circuits based on nanowires or 2D materials. A complete process chain from the deposition of various individual layers to assembly and connection technology for complex circuits is being created at the Technical University of Dresden.

The team of Prof Dr.-Ing. Thomas Mikolajick are working in the DCST ForLab on a future technology that experts have high hopes for. This is because circuits made of nanowires can also be modified during operation. This makes them a basis for so-called reconfigurable electronic systems.

In the clean room at TU Dresden, researchers from various disciplines will explore individual process steps and develop fully functional electronic systems from nanowires. The aim is to develop energy-efficient and cost-effective integrated circuits beyond the limits of geometric scaling.

This will enable completely new applications, such as innovative sensors or neuromorphic electronics for artificial intelligence. Particularly safe circuits are also conceivable, in which neither the circuit function can be read out nor the exact circuit technology traced.
