International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) recognizes COMPACT MODELLING as one of the bottlenecks in the

deployment of new technologies

“Design gap” in particular in analog/RF design: need for highly skilled human resources. need for methodologies in LV, LP, RF design

“Design automation gap”: in analog/RFIC design (vs. digital design)

Design gap exists also in Greece (Microelectronics Industry!)

Main field of research: design of low-voltage/low-power analog/RF integrated circuits

compact modelling in advanced semiconductor technology

Particular field of research: Next gen. nanoscale CMOS: multi-gate transistors (FinFET, DGFET)

high-voltage transistors (HVMOS) – RF, automotive applications e.a.

novel devices (SiC FETs) for high-current applications

The European Commission has acknowledged the importance of Photonics by identifying it as a Key Enabling Technology for Europe.

“ Without strong European leadership in photonics technologies, these industries will be left vulnerable to strong competition from the USA and Asia”. (http://www.photonics21.org )

Photonics 21 EU initiative has named 21th century as the "photon century”

“Following the paradigm of the rapid evolution of electronics that followed the invention of the transistor in the late 1940’s, over the coming decades photonics will impact most areas of our lives, revolutionising societies and industries around the globe”.

Main areas of focus: Information and Communication , Life Science and Health, Emerging

Three quarters of the global health care expenditure is currently spent on the symptomatic treatment of progressed illness.

Biophotonics has enormous potential as a key enabling technology to identify the root cause of diseases rather than easing existing Symptoms

Biophotonics will also greatly accelerate molecular diagnosis, and so constitute a great step towards personalized medicine and a better quality of life.

Our Focus: Life Science and Health (biophotonics)

It is based on signal emitting tracers (biomarkers) combined with sophisticated imaging modalities to detect changes at the molecular and genetic level.

Identifies cancer precursors before changes are detected at anatomical levels.

Provides info for understanding the molecular origins of cancer.

It holds the promise to become a sensitive and specific method to detect and prevent the progression of precancerous lesions.
