About Department of Materials for Nanoelectronics | Chemnitz University of Technology
Since June 2009 the Professorship of Materials for Nanoelectronics is engaged in research and teaching on materials and their applications in nanoelectronics.
With a focus on energy storage devices for integration with micro- and nanoelectronics students can gain insight into a cutting-edge field of engineering. The recently established laboratories on the Smart Systems Campus enable our students to experience hands-on work with modern tools like lithography, sputtering systems and atomic layer deposition machines.
In the following you can find a recent highlight of our research efforts:
Self-wound ultra-compact energy storage elementsWe have demonstrated the self-assembly of ultra-compact energy storage devices based on self-wound three-dimensional hybrid organic/inorganic nanomembranes. Such ultra-compact elements exhibit capacitances per footprint area higher than their state-of-the-art planar counterparts and reach specific energies comparable to supercapacitors. The combination of self-assembled organic monolayers with inorganic capacitor materials leads to elements with small footprints, remarkable performance and properties strongly correlated with the organic materials incorporated. Our results represent a breakthrough for local on-chip energy storage and energy supply for autonomous systems at the micro- and nanoscale.C. C.
