SWAN-on-chip: advancing spintronic technologies to the market
May 4, 2023
At the same time, spintronics is an emerging technology which has been used in key functionalities associated with wireless sensor networks. By harnessing the spin of an electron, spintronic devices have already shown potential as sensors, energy harvesters, and radiofrequency sources.
In the SWAN-on-chip project, several ‘spin-chips’ will be designed to validate the Spintronics Wireless Autonomous Node concept, by integrating spintronic devices with conventional tailored integrated circuits. As well as benchmarking the individual spin-chips, the SWAN-on-chip project aims to create a European-level ‘spintronics technology accelerator’ by bringing together actors from theory, materials, nanofabrication, electrical engineering and industry, with the goal of advancing spintronic technologies to the market.
