Silicon Nitride Photonic Integrated Circuit Pilot line for Life Science Applications in the Visible Range (PIX4LIFE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,
Photonics is essential in today’s life science technology. PIX4life will mature a state of the art silicon nitride (SiN) photonics pilot line for life science applications in the visible range and pave the way to make it accessible as an enabler for product development by a broad range of industrial customers. We aim at 1) establishing a validated CMOS compatible SiN technology platform in the vis ...

Piezoelectronic Transduction Memory Device (PETMEM)
Start date: Dec 1, 2015, End date: Nov 30, 2018,
Computer clock speeds have not increased since 2003, creating a challenge to invent a successor to CMOS technology able to resume performance improvement. The key requirements for a viable alternative are scalability to nanoscale dimensions – following Moore’s Law – and simultaneous reduction of line voltage in order to limit switching power. Achieving these two aims for both transistors and memor ...

Heterogeneous Advancement and hybrid integration of polymer and tripLEx platform for Integrated Microwave PhoTonics (HAMLET)
Start date: Dec 1, 2015, End date: Nov 30, 2018,
Microwave photonics technology (MWP) has the potential to create a huge commercial impact by bringing together the worlds of microwave engineering and photonics and by enabling processing functionalities in microwave systems that are complex or totally impossible in the microwave domain. The main reason for not having achieved this so far has been the lack of a photonic integration technology that ...

Semiconductor Industry Leading towards Viable Energy Recovery (SILVER)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 1, 2014,
There is no doubt that ICT, supported by semiconductor technology, can play in using more efficiently energy resources and in allowing the adoption of renewable energy production, care must be taken that the complete life cycle of the envisaged technologies is considered, and that also the energy costs for the production of the critical semiconductor components are minimized. This concept applies ...

Energy-efficient piezo-MEMS tunable RF front-end antenna systems for mobile devices (EPAMO)
Start date: Apr 1, 2011, End date: Mar 1, 2014,
Future wireless communication systems need to cope with the increased number of frequency bands and advanced mobile phone standards supporting high data rates. At the same time mobile phone systems have to become more energy-efficient in order to contribute to the Grand Challenge “CO2-reduction”. The EPAMO project will address both aspects by exploring and implementing multiple innovative process ...

Strategy for the preservation of plastic artefacts in museum collections (Popart)
Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2012,
During the twentieth century artists have used plastics and synthetics to create important pieces that are recognized nowadays as masterpieces. Unfortunately some plastics are degrading faster than had been expected and their preservation constitutes a challenge. Their is a lack of knowledge and agreement about the way we can exhibit, clean and store them in order to lower their deterioration spee ...
