New EU/ECSEL collaborative project on analogue storage materials for artificial intelligence

(July 2021 – June 2024)

2021/07/12

In the EU's Horizon 2020 framework programme in the ECSEL-IA line (Electronic Components and Systems for European Leadership – Innovative Action), the collaborative project storAIge is being launched at the Advanced Thin Film Technology group.

storAIge stands for "Embedded storage elements on next MCU generation ready for AI on the edge. In addition to EU funding, the project is also supported by the BMBF. The Advanced Thin Film Technology group is working on the material fundamentals of the transition from digital to analogue memory devices as required for neuromorphic computing and artificial intelligence. The group will also conduct irradiation experiments, which are essential for aerospace applications in particular. Partners in the large European joint project with a total funding of above 100 M€ are e.g. ST Microelectronics, CEA/LETI and Fraunhofer IPMS.
