Demokritos- National Centre for Scientific Research (NCSRD) work in CONCEPT will be mainly involved in the fundamentals of epitaxial ferroelectrics, epitaxial oxides in neuromorphic devices, and integration of functional complex oxides paving the way for the development of bio-inspired neuromorphic computing. Learn the partner’s take and vision of the CONCEPT project in this interview.
Tell us more about the very beginning of CONCEPT – the proposal, setting up the team, and your very first impressions.
I enjoyed the proposal writing phase because the proposal was in my immediate interests and while writing, it was interesting to see my co-proposers’ ideas on several scientific subjects that I have not thought about.
How do you think the CONCEPT project will provide a new ICT paradigm and achieve its goals?
Ferroelectric synaptic devices have the potential to provide bio-inspired, neuromorphic computing technologies with extremely low power consumption and learning-on-the-fly capabilities. This could be the basis for future generations of AI closely emulating the biological systems.
What is the main result that CONCEPT will deliver?
The project could produce the best quality epitaxial material for the device active layers to ensure the highest performance and reliability of the targeted ferroelectric or optoelectronic devices. Yet the growth and process methodologies are scalable to large area wafers suitable for volume production.
