研究领域

The latest generations of microprocessors have seen stagnant performance despite continuous downscaling of CMOS devices and high-density integration in pace with the Moore’s Law. As much as 50% of the skyrocketing energy consumption in the microprocessors goes to switching the interconnect system of rapidly growing complexity. All this calls for new thinking to contain power consumption, to improve performance and to enable higher-density integration. In collaboration with KTH-Kista, we address the integration and power consumption issues by monolithically amalgamating tiers of device layers in a 3D format. The key components in our sequential 3D integration are germanium nanowire transistors manufactured at low temperatures (KTH), smart materials choices in combination with novel inter-tier interconnect architecture (UU), and circuit demonstration (KTH+UU). Electronic sensing represents a grand research and application field. It finds a vast variety of applications in gas sensing for domestic gases and environmental control as well as in the detection of charged species in electrolytes for biochemical analysis. The recent demonstration of Silicon CMOS-based on-chip genome sequencing and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) represent potential electronic sensing based revolutions in biochemical analysis. We are researching on new sensor device concepts based on advanced Silicon chip technology towards single-charge detection and single molecule analysis. Our research spans from design and fabrication of novel Silicon nanodevices and on-chip amplifiers for signal transducing and low-noise amplification, to fundamental solid-liquid interfacial mechanisms that are responsible for sensor signal, noise and stability. We are also exploring our sensor device technology for novel biomedical applications of significant societal importance, such as rapid antibiotic resistance tests and drug-target interaction studies for drug screening.
