SPIN-CHIP
About the *project.*
Energy efficiency is crucial for Europe's sustainable use of digital devices amid growing AI and IoT fields. While AI shows great potential, current power-intensive, bulky hardware risks raising global energy consumption.
Spintronics, an emerging field, could be key to future energy-efficient chips. Unlike traditional electronics that use electric charge, spintronics employs electron spin to generate, detect, and convert information. Its high performance and low power needs address the rising demand for computing power, especially in AI.
SPIN-CHIP centers on the Magnetic Tunnel Junction (MTJ) to demonstrate its readiness for next-generation "made in EU" chips, boosting energy efficiency, area, sensitivity, speed, agility, affordability, and cost-effectiveness.
