Projet QUANTIMONY (Horizon 2020, appel à projets 2020)
Action : Doctoral Networks
Panel : Information Science and Engineering
Statut du projet : SIGNED

Due to their unique properties, research into the quantum physics and engineering of Sb-based compound semiconductor (III-Sb) materials and devices is flourishing worldwide. However, III-Sb penetration into the electronic and optoelectronic markets falls substantially short of their potential. The objective of QUANTIMONY (Innovative Training Network in Quantum Semiconductor Technologies exploiting Antimony) is to provide high-level training to fourteen early stage researchers (ESRs) in the overarching field of III-Sb semiconductor science and technology, covering all scientific and engineering aspects from modelling through to material growth and characterisation, device fabrication and analysis, and industrial exploitation. Via QUANTIMONY the beneficiaries and partners will prepare this cohort of researchers for, and jointly instigate, the transition of III-Sb materials from their current status of high-performance, high-cost niche application towards scalable and industrially relevant technologies. To fulfil this mission, we propose a 48-month project with seven work packages, four of which focus on III-Sb research activities that will accelerate the development of new technologies. QUANTIMONY is configured as a multi-site network comprising eleven internationally-renowned research teams as beneficiaries: seven universities, one research institute, two large corporations and one SME. It is enhanced by twelve partner organizations, six of which are industrial partners, three are large scale research facilities and three are internationally-leading academic groups. The combined consortium spans eleven countries: eight European, plus USA, Taiwan and Brazil.
