Researchers at the Forschungszentrum Jülich develop novel process for structuring quantum materials
Implementing quantum materials in computer chips provides access to fundamentally new technologies. To build high-performance quantum computers, for example, topological insulators have to be combined with superconductors. This fabrication step is associated with a number of challenges that have now been solved by researchers from Jülich.

George Smith Award
At IEDM in San Francisco on Dec. 3rd, 2018, IEEE Electron Device Society (EDS) presented the George E. Smith Award to the scientists from PGI 9 and EPFL, Switzerland, for their paper entitled “Negative Capacitance as Performance Booster for Tunnel FETs and MOSFETs: An Experimental Study”, which was published in the IEEE Electron Device Letters in October 2017 (DOI: /10.1109/LED.2017.2734943). Dr. Gia V. Luong, Prof. Qing-Tai Zhao and Prof. Siegfried Mantl from PGI 9, share the award equally with the colleagues from EPFL. Advanced silicon nanowire devices were reported in this paper for the future energy efficient nanoelectronics.
