The smallest things can have the biggest impact
Bell Labs’ invention of the transistor was just the beginning. Our Semiconductors & Devices research approaches device innovation in two ways.
First, we conduct foundational research on the next generation of opto-electronic and nano-electronic semiconductor devices, as well as practical quantum compute concepts. This research will potentially endow future systems with unimagined capabilities in the most energy efficient way.
Second, we re-envision the end-user device, creating innovative prototype hardware and intelligent software systems that will allow us to interact with the digital, physical and human worlds in new ways.
