BMBF projekt DECISIF starts
DECISIF
is an important milestone for the future manufacturing of still more efficient
microprocessors and memory with smaller energy consumption and thus longer
periods of operation. The Federal Ministry for education and research (BMBF)
granted 8.1 million euro for the project DECISIF (DEVICE and CIrcuit
performance boosted through SiIlicon material Fabrication). Further 6.4 million
euros contribute the compound partners GLOBALFOUNDRIES Dresden, Siltronic AG,
AIXTRON AG, Research Centre Jülich and the Max Planck Institute for
Microstructure Physics. By the European Union project Medea DECISIF also cooperates
with the French partners STMicroelectronics, SOITEC and LETI. Project coordinator
is Professor Siegfried Mantl of IBN.

ULIS - Ultimate Integration on Silicon Conference
CMOS shapes
the technology of our time. Mobile phones, digital cameras or PCs, tiny
transistors and chips on semiconductor crystals form the basis of our
modern life. Current research results, strategies, concepts and new trends for
applications were the focus of the conference, which took place from 18 to 20
March in Aachen. 120 specialists worldwide from science and industry participated
in the "ULIS 2009". Main topics of the conference covered the
progressive miniaturisation of electronic devices, the physical limits of what
is feasible, as well as alternative concepts and approaches.

Peter Grünberg Centre opened
On 12
March, Forschungszentrum Jülich officially opened the Peter Grünberg
Centre. It is the central platform for basic research in the field of
nanoelectronics in the Jülich-Aachen region, and the first research
institution in the field of nanoelectronics in Germany that is also
open to external users. Forschungszentrum Jülich named the centre in
honour of its Nobel Prize Laureate Peter Grünberg.

IBN strengthens Cooperation with Imperial College London
Dr. Norbert Klein was appointed visiting professor at the Faculty of Engineering, Department of Materials, of Imperial College London. The
aim is to establish a cooperation between JARA-FIT and the London Centre of Nanotechnology (LCN) and to initiate joint European research projects. LCN
is a new multidisciplinary research centre which unites engineering
science, physics and biomedicine under the common roof of
nanotechnology. LCN is jointly operated by University College London
(UCL) and Imperial College London. |
Two Graduate Schools of DFG with Participation of IBN
The
German Research Foundation (DFG) intensifies international training of
PhD students. The responsible appropriations committee has now approved
the establishment of further graduate schools at its autumn meeting in
Bonn. The new graduate schools offer numerous further PhD students the
chance to take their PhD in a structured research and qualification
programme at a high professional level. Thus, they play an important
role, in particular, regarding the current discussion about the quality
of PhD studies at German universities. Each of the recently approved
graduate schools are granted project funding from approximately 344,000 to 1,123,000
euros per year.
IBN is involved in the following graduate schools:
• The graduate school "Bionik - Interaktionen über Grenzflächen zur Außenwelt"
at Bonn University is concerned with the transfer of biological
phenomena to the technical area. Here, participants from biology and
computer science focus on biological interaction across boundaries,
such as the skin and sense organs, to their environment. Whether
adhesive properties, infrared vision or optical orientation: models
from nature are to be explored and implemented in technical systems. In
this context, researchers from Bonn cooperate with engineers from
Forschungszentrum Jülich, RWTH Aachen University and external partners
from industry. (Host university: University of Bonn, speaker: Professor
Dr. Gerhard von der Emde)
• The graduate school "Biointerface"
is a cooperation project between RWTH Aachen University,
Forschungszentrum Jülich and the Universities of Liège and Maastricht.
The expertise of scientists, engineers and medical scientists is
focused in order to develop intelligent biomaterial surfaces for
biomedical engineering and molecular biology. The focus of Biointerface
is on 26 PhD theses whereby the specialisation of PhD students takes
place by means of an individual training programme. 13 of the 26 PhD
students have been awarded scholarships. |
Two New Helmholtz Young Investigators Groups at IBN
The Helmholtz Association has chosen two excellent young scientists of IBN who will now be
able to set up their own working groups in the Forschungszentrum. The
nanotechnologists have been given an annual budget of at least 250,000 euros
for five years and the possibility of a permanent position (tenure track). more |
