CMOS-Compatible Solid-State Electrolytes
PhD - Leuven | Just now
Novel ALD-grown proton-conducting solid-state electrolytes for supercapacitors and iontronic devices compatible with silicon/CMOS technology.
The project aims to develop novel ALD-grown proton-conducting solid-state electrolytes for supercapacitors and iontronic devices compatible with silicon/CMOS technology. Current solid electrolytes suitable for CMOS integration are limited, particularly for proton-conducting systems. The PhD will investigate new material systems and deposition processes to achieve ionic conductivities in the range of 10⁻⁴ to 10⁻⁶ S/cm while maintaining conformality, CMOS compatibility, and minimal post-processing requirements. Successful implementation will enable next-generation energy-storage and iontronic devices for applications in low-power electronics, wearable systems, IoT devices, and neuromorphic computing.
