20 Years Ferroelectric Doped HfO₂

Thank you for coming to the Namlab Novel High-k Application Workshop on March 24th – 26th, 2025. New challenges offered by the application of high-k dielectric materials in micro– and nanoelectronics were discussed by more than 100 participants from industry, research institutes and universities.

In this series of annual workshops, NaMLab has created a stimulating platform for application-oriented scientists to exchange ideas and discuss recent experimental results on devices, process technology, reliability, and characterization of high-k dielectrics integrated into silicon-based micro- and nanoelectronics. As in previous years, the causes for the formation of ferroelectric properties in HfO₂ and ZrO₂ and the application of these films will be discussed followed by the newest results of ferroelectric AlScN. This year, the workshop has a special focus on the 20th anniversary of the discovery of the ferroelectric properties of doped HfO₂.

Preliminary Agenda

Have you always been curious about how cell phones and computers work and how they are manufactured? Here, you have the opportunity to learn about the research and development process in the semiconductor industry.

On April 23rd we open our doors at NaMLab for the Girl’s Day in order to dive into the exciting and challenging world of micro- and nanoelectronics. Discover our clean room and learn about the diverse work in the fields of electrical engineering and microelectronics. What role do new materials play in electronics development? Does an electrical engineer really spend all day tinkering with equipment? And what does a microtechnologist actually do?

On the occasion of Girls‘ Day 2026, we warmly welcome you and invite you to explore our research institute, which focuses on the theme “Think Big – Make Nano.” Discover career fields that not only offer excellent job opportunities but are also extremely fun!

We offer an introduction to the work of NaMLab and the importance of microelectronics in our lives. To make the day interesting, experimental demonstrations with manufacturing techniques and physical and electrical characterizations are planned.

If you would like to learn more about what to expect on this day, watch our YouTube video.

If you want to take part, we look forward to your registration here.

This offer was organized in cooperation with the collaborative research center Active-3D.

Chip design is one essential step in designing microelectronics for specific products and applications. Expertise in chip design can strengthen Germany’s innovation and competitiveness and increase its technological sovereignty in Europe. In order to leverage this potential, the German Ministry for Education and Research (BMBF) has launched the Microelectronics Design Initiative with four key areas of focus: a strong network as a central exchange platform, training and further education for talented individuals and specialists, research projects to strengthen design capabilities and the expansion of research structures.

As a part of the Design-Initiative NaMLab is currently coordinating the multi-partner research project called DI-ReDesign which aims at developing open-source design tools and logic libraries for chip design with emerging #reconfigurable field effect transistors (RFETs). The special properties of RFETs enable flexible applications in digital and analog circuits, from signal processing and neural networks to low-temperature electronics. The open design library and tool chain will enable highly innovative circuit designs in the future – both functionally and from a security perspective. The project is running since 05/2024 and will continue to 04/2027.

The concept and innovations behind Re-Design will be presented by Dr. Jens Trommer at the Chipdesign Germany Forum 2025 on May 13 in Messe Dresden. Find out more about the event program here: https://www.chipdesign-germany.de/de/events/2025/dresden-chipdesign-germany-forum/
