Singapore-America develops nano-electromechanical relay

Singapore Institute of Microelectronics (IME) - the leading research institute of Singapore Science and Technology Agency (A * STAR), on November 29, announced the partnership with Stanford University, USA to develop nano electromechanical relay technology (NEMS) capable of calculating super low energy.

NEMS-based integrated circuits are ideal for a wide range of emerging electronic solutions when they remove leakage energy, one of the leading energy consumption sources in current scale devices. .

NEMS , as the name implies, is made up of mechanical and electronic properties. NEMS components make ideal devices have multi-function advantages, extremely low power consumption and high operational stability.

The project is also led by Navab Singh, the Nano-Electronics Chief Investigator at and Professor HS Philip Wong, Professor Roger Howe, and Professor Subhasish Mitra from Stanford University.

" NEMS devices not only allow for much greater integration density for smaller shape coefficients but they are also suitable for use in electronic systems, enhancing these systems with potential. Resistant to harsh environments, "Singh said.
