The SiNANO Institute: research areas developing the semiconductor landscape

The SiNANO Institute shapes tomorrow’s semiconductor landscape.

Future tera scale ICs and Nanosystems will require innovative nanoscale structures that can improve performance and/or enable new functionalities.
That’s why the SINANO Institute research areas cover the full value chain, from materials to systems, with possible integration of More Moore, More than Moore, and Beyond-CMOS devices.

A value chain broadening the semiconductors landscape.

To target applications such as Internet of Things, automotive/mobility, medical/health, environment, manufacturing, security, energy, farming, our activities focus on:

More Moore

  • Logic Nanodevices & circuits/FDSOI, Nanosheet, Stacked channels…
  • Memories/Charge-based, Resistive/Capacitive
  • Very low power devices
  • High temperature electronics

Beyond CMOS

  • Novel computing architectures (Neuromorphic, Quantum…)
  • Phonon engineering
  • Small slope switches-TFET/Fe Transistors/Dirac-Source FET/NEMS…
  • Alternative materials-2D layers
  • 1D Devices/NW/CNT
  • Very low temperature electronics
  • Amorphous Oxide Semiconductor FETs

More than Moore

Very advanced More than Moore fields:

  • Micro-nano-bio Sensors & Systems
  • Energy Harvesting
  • RF devices & circuits
  • Photonics devices
  • Power devices
  • Flexible electronics
  • Semiconductor-based Photonics

System integration

  • Smart systems
  • Systems design
  • Heterogeneous Integration, & Advanced Packaging

Sustainable electronics

  • Alternative materials
  • Aternative chemicals
  • Ultra low power electronics,
  • “R” strategy (reduce, recycle, reuse, repair…)
