The consortium is led by NaMLab, an experienced coordinator whose explicit role is to be at the very interface of industry and academic research.
For administrative and legal management, NaMLab will be supported by its main shareholder TUD, whose European Project Center provides the necessary expertise and experience.
The Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin has a strong background in material development, especially important for the development of metal oxide electrodes.
The National Center For Scientific Research “Demokritos” brings a strong expertise in epitaxial film growth and fabrication of semiconducting electrodes to FIXIT.
Demokritos Project Team
IUNET is a large interuniversity consortium with 14 Italian partner research teams. Two of them participate in the FIXIT project, the universities of Udine and Modena. Their core competences are in the theory, modelling, simulation and characterization of nanometer-size electron devices for switching and memory, including ferroelectric based devices.
The discovery of ferrroelectricity in the wurtzite-type AlScN proves project partner University Kiel as an important partner within FIXIT for the development of this novel material class as well as devices based on it.
The specific expertise of IBM Research in Zurich in the field of material and device sciences, integration and packaging, layer transfer and wafer bonding makes its participation critical for the success of this project.
Our industry partner XFAB is one of the European Foundries and as such has a very important role not only in providing the necessary CMOS wafers for our FSD BEOL integration but also in the exploitation and commercialization of FIXIT’s results.
MELEXIS contributes its superior expertise in the design of highly sensitive analogue circuits as well as sensor systems, thus being of utmost importance for the design
of the interfacing circuits to our passive crossbar arrays as well as towards the sensors in our system demonstrator.
Applied Materials has a very strong background in material, tool and manufacturing process development and contributes its proprietary multiscale physics modeling platform, Ginestra®, to boost the in-depth understanding of the ferroelectric material and device properties.
