Novel 2D quantum device concepts enabled by sub-nanometre precision nanofabrication (NanoFab2D)

Start date: Jul 1, 2016, End date: Jun 30, 2021,

In today’s electronics, the information storage and processing are performed by independent technologies. The information-processing is based on semiconductor (silicon) devices, while non-volatile data storage relies on ferromagnetic metals. Integrating these tasks on a single chip and within the same material technology would enable disruptively new device concepts opening the way towards ultra-h ...
