Projekt

A standby switch based on a single atomic transistor will be realized. While the project targets the estimated 6.5% power loss in average households due to standby operation of electronic devices it envisions a broader project goal: The first exemplarily demonstration of the potential enabled by a new generation of single atomic devices. The project envisions the development of a prototype device spanning the complete chain of fundamental research and development. In a first phase a single atomic transistor will be developed, optimized and realized that has previously been demonstrated at KIT. Then it will be integrated within a nano- and microstructured device, and a cascade type electric circuit will be developed in order to enable the reliable "on" and "off" switching of an electric device.
