Development of new semiconductors

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

What is a semiconductor?

Semiconductors are materials that can be controlled so that they 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, among others. Transistors are the most important component in all modern electronics.

Nanotechnology – nano.lu.se

We are developing new types of materials that can complement or replace silicon, which is most common in today's semiconductors. This will facilitate the green transition and give us entirely new functions, properties and high performance in energy, electronics and IT.

IT Communication – elliit.se

We conduct research on circuit design and algorithms. This paves the way for 5G and 6G wireless technologies, networking solutions, collaborative robotic systems and optimisation and control of autonomous vehicles.
