18 to 36 months postdoc position in France: Design of neuromorphic circuits based on crossbar of organic memristors.
LOCATION: IMS, Univ. Bordeaux 1, France. and IEF, Univ. Paris-Sud, Orsay, France.
DATE: start: from september to december 2012 ; end: MARCH 2014 with possible continuation until september 2015.
NET SALARY: 24.400 € / year
CONTEXT: 3-year project targeting the experimental demonstration of the learning capabilities of a neuromorphic circuit composed of nano-scale organic memristors and their prospects for predictable performance. It is based on the design, modeling, simulation and physical implementation of highly innovative nano-devices and on new architectures for hybrid circuits. Thanks to CEA process facilities, the functionality and robustness of a first type of organic memristive material have already been assessed by the consortium, as well as its compatibility with transfer printing processes. In addition, conventional inorganic memristors will also be fabricated to serve as a comparison in a benchmark effort. In the more exploratory part of the project, individual carbon nanotubes will be used as electrodes for fully organic nano-memristors. It will notably allow the evaluation of scaling laws for energy and speed performances.
Mission: The candidate will develop the first physics-based and compact models of memristors adapted to circuit design and evaluate new architectures of neuro-inspired adaptive circuits. The project will lead to the conception and realization of a full demonstrator of nano-memristor based circuit with learning capabilities.
The ideal candidate will have strong skills in circuit design, device physics characterization and compact modeling.
