Advanced Materials & Processes
We provide deposition and characterisation of functional thin films for electronics, energy, and optical applications. We use materials growth and atomic scale processing, focusing on atomic layer deposition and thermal atomic layer etching. Advanced characterisation is offered, and we also employ several specialist techniques to explore 2D materials and their properties. Novel concepts, such as emerging devices and quantum technologies are also key.
We aim to deliver state-of-the art solutions for the achievement of quantum advantage using solid-stage platform technologies – low-power, energy-efficient, high-performance devices and architectures, while increasing functionality through novel materials integration.
Hyper-integration & Packaging
We are global leaders in research for semiconductor packaging technologies and silicon fabrication processes to create super-heterogeneous systems. Our research addresses challenges in photonic and microelectronic technologies, ranging from fundamental research to pilot-scale manufacturing. We closely collaborate with leading photonic equipment manufacturers to develop next generation solutions.
Circuits & Devices
Tyndall is a leading technology hub specializing in high impact microelectronic IC design research for the semiconductor industry specialising in the modelling, simulation, analysis and design of nonlinear mixed signal circuits and systems for applications in communications and signal processing. We have expertise in techniques such as non-linear dynamical system theory and mixed-signal simulation. Our cryo laboratory and research team supports research initiatives for cryo-CMOS and quantum computer engineering.
Partnering with global semiconductor companies, both in Ireland and abroad, we enhance microelectronic research to drive product innovations and multi-application developments. Our research focuses on analog, analog mixed-signal, RF, and millimeter-wave circuit IC architecture and design, culminating in system-level solution research demonstrators or prototypes.
