The Symposium on Schottky Barrier MOS (SBBMOS) covers every year the most relevant and exciting advancements in the field of Schottky Barrier based devices and their applications. For its 8th edition, this year the Symposium was held at the University of Surrey, in Guildford (UK), between the 18th and he 19th of September, and focused…
We are very thrilled to announce that SENSOTERIC will be present at this year’s European Solid-State Electronics Research Conference (ESSERC) with not only one, but two incredible contributions! A the conference, held in Bruges (Belgium) between the 9th and the 12th of September, you will be able to hear from us about: Don’t miss out…
As announced in the previous post, on the 11th of April, the whole SENSOTERIC consortium met in Dresden, hosted by NaMLab and TU Dresden, to kick-off the project activities in a dense-scheduled, full-day meeting. In the beautiful location of the modern Hermann-Krone-Bau, located at TU Dresden campus, the team had first of all the chance…
On the 11th of April, 2024, the team will gather in Dresden (Germany), hosted by the project coordinator NaMLab and TU Dresden, to kick-off the activities. In this full-day meeting, each partner will present their plans and preliminary activities for the project.
On the 18th of January, 2024, the team met for the first time (online) to get to know each other and exchange everyone’s view on the first actions for SENSOTERIC. This preliminary meeting opens the door for the upcoming in-person kick-off meeting scheduled for the 11th of April, 2024 in Dresden (Germany). Then, the each…
SENSOTERIC is a EU HORIZON funded project that aims at the development of smart, multi-functional, and reconfigurable sensor technologies. Our great consortium, including NaMLab, TU Dresden, TU Darmstadt, TU Wien, Global TCAD Solutions, TU Eindhoven, University of Bordeaux, and EPFL, is ready to start a 4-years long research journey to investigate the use of Reconfigurable…
Smart cities and smart homes, autonomous vehicles, and industry 4.0 are driving the technology market away from a processing-information-centric past to a sensing-and-actuation-centric future. The technological needs for this transformation are complex, as sensing technologies are very diverse and not driven solely by scaling, performance and cost, as opposed to the case of CMOS electronics. From the view of Europe’s industrial landscape, smart sensors are key technologies in the important automotive and healthcare/medical market segments.
Our global objective is the development of a reconfigurable platform to accommodate both for a generic analog front-end (AFE) sensor interface able to adapt to the change in environmental conditions, thus reducing power consumption and improving the signal quality, as well as a dedicated reconfigurable sensor transducer (RST) element for the detection of cancer biomarkers. Reconfigurable Field Effect Transistors (RFETs) hold the promise to provide the much-needed flexibility for this AFE/RST concepts, and are integrable as add-on into classical scaled CMOS processes like the 22 nm FDSOI, fully European available platform offered by GlobalFoundries. These devices provide adjustable device characteristics at runtime, e.g. the dynamic switching from p-type to n-type behavior or a negative differential resistance (NDR) mode, allowing the alteration of circuit behavior after manufacturing. Circuit characteristics become fine-tunable at run-time when deploying RFETs into conventional CMOS architectures
