Development of new semiconductors

Digitalisation and the energy conservation measures we need for a green transition are in jeopardy without new, efficient, energy-saving and customised microchips.

What is a semiconductor?

Semiconductors are materials that can be controlled to either conduct electrical current or not. This allows them to be used as a kind of very small switch, called a transistor, in computer technology and other applications. Transistors are the most important component of all modern electronics.

In this research area we develop new types of materials as alternatives and complements to silicon, which is common in today's semiconductors. This gives us completely new functions, properties and performances in future electronics.
