Aims and Objectives

ANALOGUE proposes establishing an automated suite for nanoelectronics characterisation, assembly, and additive packaging at the University of Glasgow (UofG) with remote access and automation capabilities. The research suite will provide an ideal research ecosystem when paired with the world-leading nanofabrication facilities in the James Watt Nanofabrication Centre (JWNC). This suite affords an opportunity to democratise research by making it accessible from any location and gives users greater control and information over the design and integration process, which will inform and enhance the development of future products.

Aims:

  1. To establish a cutting-edge facility for fully automated semiconductor processing and characterization.
  2. To support innovation in implantables, wearables, and diagnostics through advanced research and sustainable manufacturing practices.
  3. To enhance the UK's resilience in the electronics research ecosystem by providing remote access to state-of-the-art technologies.

Objectives:

  1. Develop and integrate an automated platform for wafer-scale electrical characterization and back-end processing.
  2. Facilitate collaborative research across HealthTech, Beyond-Moore Computing, and Sustainable Electronics.
  3. Promote sustainable and onshore manufacturing practices in the electronics industry.
  4. Provide real-time data collection and analytics to streamline research and development processes.
  5. Engage with industry and academic stakeholders to foster innovation and knowledge exchange.

ANALOGUE is supported by an outstanding team balancing experienced and early career academics. ANALOGUE will deliver strategic value to local and regional clusters in nanoelectronics, as evidenced by the letters of support (LoS), from key UK partners.
