The Collaborative Research Center/Transregio TRR404 – “Next Generation Electronics with Active Devices in Three Dimensions [Active-3D]” officially began its endeavor in April 2025. The goal is to redefine the boundaries of chip design by developing novel device and integration strategies that enable the integration of active devices directly within the volume above the chip area. […]
The European Union, South Korea, and Switzerland have jointly launched the ambitious research project ENERGIZE, providing €3.6 million in funding to develop energy-efficient hardware based on two-dimensional (2D) materials for edge computing and artificial intelligence (AI) applications. ENERGIZE is one of the four projects selected through the joint EU-South Korea call in February 2024, focused […]
AMO is co-organizing an exciting 2-day workshop dedicated to Novel (2D) Materials and their Applications on February 17-18, 2025. Novel materials are the foundation of innovation and the key to solving many global challenges. The workshop – organized by AMO GmbH in collaboration with RWTH Aachen University, the Aachen Graphene & 2D Materials Center and […]
The latest issue of AMO’s biannual magazine has just been released! This end-of-year edition is dedicated to the Digital Hardware Hub Aachen—a major initiative launched this summer that will shape AMO’s future for the next decades. Inside, we also dive into the newly started NEPOMUQ project, which focuses on exploring novel perovskites with nonlinear optical […]
The Digital Hardware Hub Aachen (DHHA) has secured a second round of funding from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Industry, Climate Protection, and Energy of North Rhine-Westphalia (MWIKE). The ministry has allocated approximately €6.9 million to support the planning of a new research facility at Campus West in Aachen. This new funding follows the recent […]
The latest issue of AMO’s magazine is finally out. In this edition, we dive deep into sustainability, exploring how nanotechnology can drive a successful energy transition and pave the way for a more sustainable future. We also celebrate the success of AMO’s youngest startup, Black Semiconductor, and we introduce INFRACHIP, an EU initiative that grants […]
AMO GmbH is very pleased to announce the approval of the first sub-project “DigiHub-IT” of the wider ‘Digital Hardware Hub Aachen’ project – a major initiative that will shape the future of AMO in the next decades. More than a project, the Digital Hardware Hub Aachen is a vision: to establish a central infrastructure for […]
The exceptional electronic properties of graphene make it a material with large potential for low-power, high-frequency electronics. However, the performance of a graphene-based device depends not only on the properties of the graphene itself, but also on the quality of its metal contacts. The lack of effective and manufacturable approaches to establish good ohmic contacts […]
Researcher at AMO GmbH, RWTH Aachen University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Senseair AB and the University of Bundeswehr have successfully developed a waveguide-integrated incandescent thermal mid-infrared emitter using graphene as the active material. This innovative approach significantly enhances the efficiency, compactness, and reliability of gas sensor systems, paving the way for widespread application across […]
Do you have an idea for a new high-tech product but lack the in-house technology to develop a prototype? INFRACHIP could be the solution you are looking for! INFRACHIP is an initiative funded by the European Union to finance user access to state-of-the-art cleanroom facilities distributed all over Europe, supporting pathfinding research in semiconductor technology. […]
