EINSTEIN
Experimental and theoretical studies of physical properties of low dimensional quantum nanoelectronic systems
Start Date: 01/02/2018,     End Date: 31/01/2020

The long term vision of EINSTEIN has two levels. On a first level is the creation of a world-leading international research consortium formed of Greek and Russian researchers capable of carrying out a cutting-edge research program aimed at the in-depth study of quantum phenomena in mesoscopic and nanostructured systems. It is in the long-term character of the project the continuation of the research program beyond the initial duration of the project, imply that on the long run the present focus directions will serve as nuclei for new developments. After the implementation of EINSTEIN project, this consortium will be able to join the EU Flagship on Quantum Technologies and participate in other high quality projects as well.
On a second level is the establishment of a technology platform providing functional quantum devices supported by theoretical models. Potentially, such a platform will provide the seed for further commercial exploitation of the quantum nanoelectronic devices.

Mr. Makris Nikolaos

I am a Semiconductor Research Engineer with more than 10 years of experience in R&D projects related with static and dynamic measurements, characterization and device modeling of various commercial and research oriented CMOS and wide bandgap processes. Deep understanding of semiconductor devices’ operation and performance issues.

  • Extensive hands-on experience setting-up and performing on-wafer DC,CV and RF measurements.
  • Design oriented characterization and modeling of CMOS technology node’s statistical behavior. 
  • Utilizing high level languages for modeling and characterization purposes (ex. Java application for modeling and characterization (MOSGUI project), measurement and data acquisition lab setups using PyVISA).
  • Extensive experience in commercial and open-source simulators (ex. NGSPICE, Cadence Spectre) and EDA tools (ex. KeySight ICCAP).
  • Verilog-A Charge based Compact Model development ( EKV3, CJM ), customization and integration in analog simulators.
