High-Tech Systems
The future of high-tech systems technology
High-tech systems such as wafer scanners, production printers and electron microscopes deliver extreme system performance, regarding accuracy and productivity, under extremely well-controlled physical conditions, such as pressure and temperature. High-tech systems are crucial in the manufacturing of future chips; vice versa, these complex systems require future chips and software to realize e.g. embodied AI. Performance-cost ratio and first-time right requirements are increasing from one generation of equipment to the next, constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible.
In addition, these systems are highly heterogeneous, encompassing mechanical and electronic hardware, digital software, communication networks, and deep physiochemical processes that are intricately connected and influence each other. This exemplifies the present complexity of such systems, with a rapidly growing increase in complexity over time. As a consequence, the gap between what is physically feasible and what is achieved by state-of-the-art and state-of-practice design technologies and methodologies, is constantly growing.
Why we focus on High Tech Systems
In next-generation high-tech systems, extreme functionalities and performance requirements will be realized by using a model-based multi-physics systems approach. New sensing technologies and actuator designs for multi-physics processes (such as forces, flows, temperatures, acoustics, optics) will need to be integrated with and used by distributed online model-based control and optimization tools. The control systems are adaptive and auto-tuned, are implemented in optimized hardware and software architectures, and use effective (wireless) communication.
Our fundamental research and design around new concepts and prototypes is focused around the needs of the industry. Using systems design paradigms forms a central part of the program and challenges within the Casmir Institute.
