Welcome! I'm Luca Fehlings

PostDoc at Technical University of Munich

I research ferroelectric HfO2-based devices and their integration into conventional memory macros as well as neuromorphic CMOS circuits. Together with my colleagues I am realizing circuit building blocks that allow efficient memory storage as well as learning on biological time-scales in hardware. My research interests cover the topics of compact modeling and electrical characterization of semiconductor and memory devices, particularly regarding their integrability and reliability.

Research Areas

Modeling

SPICE/VerilogA phyiscs-based compact models of semiconductor logic and memory devices.

Characterization

Parameter extraction and reliability characterization of semiconductor devices.

Design

Physics-informed design of reliable circuits and memory macros.
