Currently, information processing is based on CMOS technology that has provided exponential improvements, governed by Moore’s Law, for decades. However, as we are approaching physical boundaries, the CMOS roadmap will saturate.

Inspired by the huge impact of semiconductor technology, the researchers of our cluster have thus joined forces to explore new technologies for electronic information processing which overcome the limits of today's predominant CMOS technology. As this topic is on the agenda of all relevant scientific and industrial organizations, we focus on well-chosen approaches which reflect the research excellence of Dresden.
