Research outputs and activities of the Supervisor

Research group

CMOS and Beyond team’s research encompasses the domain of emerging nanoelectronic devices, and their integration in beyond von Neumann systems such as computation-in-memory and neuromorphic platforms and Cryogenic Electronics to enable energy-efficient and intelligent computing and sensing. One of the major focus in the team is development of Ferroelectric devices for embedded non-volatile memory applications down to deep cryogenic temperatures for AI, Quantum Computing and Space Applications. Research also encompass back-end compatible semiconductor devices like In-Ga-Zn-O and 2D semiconductors for in-sensor computing.

Research infrastructure

The research group has access to a broad array of Research Infrastructure and access to e.g. Tampere University cleanrooms, System-in-Package Fabrication (SiPFAB) pilot line focusing on Wide Bandgap (WBG) materials, Semiconductor characterization tools (Parameter analyzer with pulse modules, material characterization under in-situ bias application etc.), Ferroelectric Material tester, Cryogenic optoelectronic probe station. Experimental laboratories and software designed for studying advanced material processing, characterization, and performance of materials. OtaNano – Finland’s national research infrastructure for micro-, nano-, and quantum technologies.
