Printed Electronics
We investigate on the technology and characterization of printed metal oxide electronics. Our work includes
- fabrication of printed transistors based on inorganic
semiconductors such as InO, ZnO and electrolyte gating for field effect transistors (EGTs) - electrical characterization of logic and passive elements (e.g. transistors, digital standard cells, ring oscillators, latches, flip flops, resistances and parasitic capacitances)
- characterization of noise and small signal paramteters
- low parasitic, high performance wiring concepts with printable materials
Simulation and Virtualization of Electronic Systems
We develop dedicated design flows and modeling techniques within industry standard EDA frameworks. We currently concentrate on the
VLSI Circuit and Hybrid Electronic System Design
We design, fabricate and test RFID/NFC systems (SOCs) and hybrid electronic systems suitable for Internet-of-Things (IoT) and sensor applications.
- ultra low power SOCs (e.g. RFID/NFC stand alone modules)
- PCB design
- technology assessments based on foundry PDKs
- hybrid electronic system comprising printed and silicon components
- printed security circuits such as physical unclonable functions (PUFs)
