Dielectrics are insulating materials that have been the workhorse in computing and electronics. Since the invention of the transistor and the integrated circuit the modern complementary metal oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology heavily relied on rigid SiO2/Si substrates and the relentless downscaling of the size of the transistor has been the core driver for the information revolution. However, to meet the increasing need for miniaturization, low power function and portability in both the civilian and military sector, discrete electronic components, such as capacitors, resistors, inductors and transistors should be replaced by embedded circuitry. An important roadblock in the development of energy storage and memory/switching devices with increased efficiency and range of operation is the rather low dielectric permitivity and carrier mobilities of organic polymer materials. The four research teams of the present consortium, led by A. Rotaru (USV, Suceava), L. Mitoseriu (UAIC, Iasi), I. Pintilie (NIMP, Bucharest) and A. Marcu (INFLPR, Bucharest), propose to demonstrate proof concept of manufacturable nanocrystal film structures with a high dielectric permitivity with direct applications in high energy density storage and low-voltage modulated field effect transistors and logic devices. In addressing these challenges we will use complementary expertise in materials synthesis and characterization, device design and testing with the potential of disruptive innovation in flexible electronics.
