Results in brief

Interdependent Challenges of Reliability, Security and Quality in Nanoelectronic Systems Design

RESCUE ITN advances scientific competencies and establishes innovative training for Interdependent Challenges of Reliability, Security and Quality in Nanoelectronic Systems Design. Today, nanoelectronic systems are at the core of all industry sectors and deployed in life-critical application domains, such as healthcare, transportation, automotive and security, serving societal needs in Europe. They are being combined into Internet-of-Things and Cyber-Physical Systems and, ultimately, represent the physical backbone of our increasingly digitised world. Here, the impact and consequences of in-field failures, security attacks or hardware defects can be catastrophic. At the same time, they are getting very hard to avoid due to the trends of extreme complexity and miniaturisation at the doorstep of physical limits. The objective is, first, to address the demanding and mutually dependent aspects of nanoelectronic systems design, i.e. reliability, security and quality, as well as corresponding electronic design automation tools. This will rescue and enhance design of complex systems at the next generation nanoelectronics technologies. Second, it is to provide early-stage researchers with innovative cross-sectoral training in the involved disciplines and beyond, such that they will be not only able to face today and future challenges in nanoelectronics design but also be innovative, creative, and more importantly - have an entrepreneurial mentality. The latter helps to compile ideas into products and services for EU economic and social benefits. RESCUE successfully addressed boosting Europe’s capabilities and leadership in nanoelectronics design and creating qualified workforce and knowledge for the industry. The consortium consisting of leading European research groups was excellently balanced in terms of academic and industrial training and research facilities. The ITN was efficient in tackling the interdependent challenges in a holistic manner and training 15 new excellent interdisciplinary professionals.
