The sector develops nanoscale electronic devices and computational architectures based on both thin-film and nanostructures. The development phases are as follows:

1. Fabrication of electronic devices using lithography and thin-film deposition techniques;

2. Electrical characterization of these devices to study the physical mechanism underlying electronic and ionic transport phenomena;

3. Modeling of these transport phenomena;

4. Implementation of neuromorphic functionalities in the devices developed;

5. Implementation of computational architectures based on the developed devices.

This activity includes the development of memresistor devices for neuromorphic computing and the development of a new resistance standard operating in air, at room temperature, and in the absence of a magnetic field, as well as the investigation of superconducting properties in nanostructured devices.
