Offer Description

We are currently looking for a young scientist to work in the field of circuit design utilizing emerging non-volatile devices in the framework of TRR404 on 3D-microelectronic technology. Analogue switching devices based on valence change mechanism – also called valence change memory (VCM), promise low-energy solutions in beyond-von Neumann computing architectures and neuromorphic accelerators. These require novel circuitry adapted to the specific benefits and challenges of VCM devices (e.g. low readout currents, multilevel device operation, variabilities stemming from the device integration). In this project you will characterize and model VCM devices, and design novel VCM-based bit-cells, computing primitives as well as drivers or read-out circuitry in an analogue / digital mixed-signal approach. You will work closely with materials engineers to match device behaviour to appropriate cell design and vice versa. The results of the scientific work can be used to obtain a PhD in Electrical Engineering at the TU Dresden.
