NaMLab Dresden: 20 Years of Cutting-Edge Research on New Materials for Microelectronics
NaMLab (Nanoelectronic Materials Laboratory) gGmbH was founded in 2006 as the first scientific joint venture between TU Dresden and an industrial company. NaMLab bridges the critical gap in Saxony between materials research and component and systems research.
Since 2009, the research institute has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Dresden University of Technology (TU Dresden). The German Federal State of Saxony has provided institutional funding to NaMLab gGmbH since 2009.
NaMLab gGmbH conducts industry-oriented research with the overarching goal of developing new materials for future generations of microelectronic devices and for applications in sensor technology. The research institute is internationally renowned and respected for its pioneering research on thin ferroelectric films based on hafnium oxide for applications in microelectronic memory technologies and related devices. In addition, it has made significant contributions to research on reconfigurable microelectronic devices and to the development of new materials for power electronics.
