NanoElEctronic Devices and Systems (NEEDS)
The nanoelectronic devices and systems group is working on emerging nanoelectronic devices that empowering the next generation electronics. It encompasses vertically integrated efforts spanning from integration of novel functional materials into the new nanoelectronic devices and exploring exciting applications in various domains. Such integrated efforts can enable a new era of scaling, Hyper-Scaling.
In this group, we are utilizing the novel materials, such as ferroelectric, resistive switching, oxide thin-film, and phase transition materials, etc. to design new devices (ferroelectric FET, resistive RAM, thin-film transistor ,etc.), which could greatly accelerate the deployment of Artificial Intelligence, transform the memory hierarchy, revolutionize computing paradigms, and safeguard human’s space explorations. We believe that the electronic revolution lies in the bottom level, just like the invention of transistor brings the digital age.
