WIN Mission

Towin by exploring and developing advanced research devices, circuits and nanosystems with performance beyond conventional scaled CMOS.

WIN Research

WIN aims to be the leading nanoelectronics research Institute able to support the semiconductor, aerospace & defense, health care, biotechnology and telecommunication industries. One major effort underway is research focusing on next generation nanoelectronic systems. Nanoelectronic systems beyond CMOS must meet the following major challenges: to continue scaling with low power dissipation, high functional throughput, and to achieve robustness with fault tolerance in nanosystems. WIN is taking the reserach lead in addressing power dissipation, by examining alternate state variables other than the use of electron charge. In particular, spin appears of interest for a number of reasons including new functionalities; potentially lower power dissipation and potentially greater noise immunity. Our research is a holistic approach to spintronics, in terms of understanding device performance, device-device interactions and benchmarking performance to more conventional devices such as CMOS. Our reserach is conveniently divided up into three major themes that highlights the aforementioned challenges, click to learn more.
