Nominator's project description

Future semiconductor devices will be so small that their structure needs to be known and controlled atom by atom. Professor Windl is one of the pioneers in the implementation and application of atomic-level simulation methods to semiconductor research, materials science, and in the semiconductor industry. The goal of his cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute of Integrated Systems and Device Technology is to apply such techniques to the computational design of future generations of semiconductor devices.
