Conducting research for a changing society: This is what drives us at Forschungszentrum Jülich. As a member of the Helmholtz Association, we aim to tackle the grand societal challenges of our time and conduct research into the possibilities of a digitized society, a climate-friendly energy system, and a resource-efficient economy. Work together with around 7,400 employees in one of Europe's biggest research centers and help us to shape change!
Dealing with the challenges imposed by climate change demands the realization of extremely energy-efficient hardware for future cognitive and self-learning IT systems. This requires disruptive concepts involving new non-volatile storage devices from new materials combined with innovative circuit designs to overcome the performance limits of today's computers. The mission of Peter Grünberg Institute – Electronic Materials (PGI 7) (fz-juelich.de/de/pgi/pgi-7) is to create a scientific and technological basis for harnessing energy-efficient neuromorphic computing inspired by the functioning of the human brain. Two-dimensional materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) offer high potential for scaling and back-end-of-line (BEOL) integration with CMOS circuits. Together with our partners in the BMBF-funded Cluster for Future NeuroSys, phase 2 (neurosys.info), we aim at the wafer scale deposition of 2D materials by means of metal organic chemical vapor deposition.
