The start-up Nellow, a joint research unit from IRIG/SPINTEC and the CNRS/Thales laboratory, was awarded the 1st prize at the HEC Challenge+ Forum. The start-up develops ultra-low-power components for memory, logic and AI. Nellow is a start-up due to be created in 2024. Its technology is the result of 15 years of cutting-edge fundamental and […]
Read moreNon-volatile electric control of spin-orbit torques in an electron gas (August 01st, 2023)
Spin-orbit torques (SOTs) have the potential to manipulate magnetization using in-plane current, and two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) provide a highly efficient spin-to-charge current interconversion. This paper reports the non-volatile electric-field control of SOTs in an oxide-based Rashba-Edelstein 2DEG. We recently reported a significant progress in the path towards a next generation of memory devices […]

You find here the list of proposals for Master-2 internships to take place at Spintec during Spring 2023. In most cases, these internships are intended to be suitable for a longer-term PhD work. Interested Master-1 students are also encouraged to apply, as well as students not phased for a Spring internship, especially those coming from […]
Read moreR&D Engineer position proposal (September 12th, 2022)
Title: Design for memory/logic devices Keywords: Design, post-CMOS electronics, spintronics, architectures, ferroelectrics, magneto-electric spin-orbit Summary:Spintronics devices involve ferromagnetic elements with high switching energies. Contrastingly, the polarization of ferroelectrics can be easily switched by an electric field, at energies typically 1000 times lower. As recently demonstrated by Intel, this makes ferroelectrics good candidates for ultralow-power post-CMOS […]

Keywords: Microelectronics, spintronics, ferroelectrics, Fe-RAM, Fe-FET, Design, post-CMOS electronics Summary: Spintronics devices involve ferromagnetic elements with high switching energies. Contrastingly, the polarization of ferroelectrics can be easily switched by an electric field, at energies typically 1000 times lower. This makes ferroelectrics good candidates for ultralow-power neuromorphic AI architectures. We recently demonstrated in a Nature article […]
