The project, funded with EUR 6.6 million, was released last week
CIQUS participates in the European project PAMS - Planar Atomic and Molecular Scale devices, which aims to develop electronic devices of nanometer size, in order to get the extreme miniaturization of the equipment used in information technology and communication. This research has been funded with EUR 6.6 million for the next four years, through the 7th Framework Programme of the European Union Collaborative Project ICT (FP7-FET-Proactive).
The partners will develop methods to build molecular devices directly on insulating or semiconducting surfaces, connecting them to the macroscopic world through nanowires. CIQUS researchers will be responsible for preparing and supplying these special molecular components to the rest of the consortium, which will address their assembly and the study of their properties and performance.
The responsible at USC is Professor Diego Peña, who along with Enrique Guitián and Dolores Pérez lead the COMMO research group. CNRS in the leader of the consortium, which includes the IBM Research Institute (Zurich), the Centre of Materials Physics (CSIC-UPV/EHU) and four universities from Germany, Finland and Poland: TU Dresden, JU Krakow, JGU Mainz and Aalto Univ.
