“Circuit design has long been an area in which Lund excels, especially in mobile telephony and telecom, with Bluetooth being the most classic example. There is also robust research on new materials, such as alternatives and complements to silicon which is most common today. The combination and integration of different technologies are becoming increasingly important and heterogeneous integration is an opportunity to add functions such as optoelectronics or sensors, in addition to the regular scaling of transistors. The region is an international player and Lund University is the hub,” says Lars-Erik Wernersson, professor of Nanoelectronics at Lund University’s Faculty of Engineering.
“NanoLund is successful in terms of new materials and functions, and there is also an increasingly strong infrastructure at Brunnshög with facilities such as Max IV, the upcoming European Spallation Service (ESS), and a larger nano lab. The combination of circuit design and nanocomponents adds a new aspect where Lund stands out,” says Lars-Erik Wernersson, who highlights the ecosystem that already exists between the University and different companies.”
