European Research Training Network New Materials: Innovative Concepts for their Fabrication, Integration and Characterisation" Grant agreement no: 238409

01.10.2009 - 30.09.2013
Forschungsförderungsprojekt
The multi-site European research training network ENHANCE - "New Materials: Innovative Concepts for their Fabrication, Integration and Characterization" will be established to deal with the mid and long term issues of concern to the European industry encompassing the whole spectrum of functional materials for microelectronics, nano-electronics, data storage, photo-voltaics with emphasis on emerging technologies featuring both fundamental and applied aspects. ENHANCE is an interdisciplinary initial training network consisting of Chemists, Physicists, Material Scientists, and Engineers from different participating countries of EU. Despite the exceptional importance of thin film processing of many new materials and their integration in emerging nanotechnologies, there is no systematic interdisciplinary training of young researchers in the traditional courses of chemistry, materials science and engineering. ENHANCE aims to close this gap by combining the classical knowledge of chemistry, materials science, physics and engineering i.e. the knowledge of precursor molecules, materials properties, study of physical phenomena, to electronic devices and circuit integration. The training of ENHANCE fellows will be based on a structured academic curriculum, including, generic skills workshops and on-site research training at the state of the art laboratories, facilities under clean room conditions and a training at the industrial laboratories. This will provide the young scientists with necessary in-depth knowledge in materials synthesis and thin film processing as well as experimental skills in operating the instruments and analytical skills in different materials characterization techniques.
