Welcome to the Nanoelectronic Group at the University of Udine!
For more than twenty years our group of NanoElectronic Devices and Circuits (NEDeC) has been working on novel devices and materials for nanoelectronics, and on the circuit-level evaluation of the potential of emerging technologies. We have graduated more than 30 PhD students and tens of Master level students, who presently hold rewarding positions in academia, in research institutes or in high-tech industries.
The group has been engaged in several aspects related to the scaling of CMOS technologies, and their transition from planar to three-dimensional (3-D) transistor architectures. Moreover, we have more recently undertaken research activities focused on beyond CMOS devices for improved energy efficiency, on novel sensors, and on memristors for neuromorphic computing and specialized hardware for artificial intelligence applications.
The group is very interested to the energy efficiency and the environmental footprint of microelectronics and information technologies. The development of device, circuits and systems able to drastically reduce the energy dissipation is a driving force for most of our research topics.
We are proud to be an active member of the National Interuniversity Consortium for Nanoelectronics (IUNET).
