FIXIT Project Meeting

FIXIT (“Scaled FerroelectrIc X-bars for AI-driven sensors and actuaTors”) is a Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Action (Grant Agreement 101135398), now framed within the Chips Joint Undertaking (Chips JU) ecosystem running from 1 Nov 2023 to 30 Apr 2027, with a total EU contribution of about €3.86M and coordinated by NaMLab (Germany).

The project aims to develop an ultra-low-power, ferroelectric-based memory and computing technologies for energy-efficient AI-driven electronic systems. In particular, FIXIT focuses on nanoscale ferroelectric devices (down to 20 nm x 20 nm) capable of multi-level information storage, and on integrating them into dense crossbar (“X-bar”) arrays to enable efficient and highly parallel AI-relevant operations.

To achieve this, FIXIT builds on CMOS-compatible ferroelectric materials, such as hafnium-based and wurtzite-based ferroelectrics, and brings together expertise covering materials and device fabrication, integration, measurements, modeling, circuit design, and system-level demonstrations.
