Prof. Dr.-Ing. Thomas Mikolajick
Chair of Nanoelectronic Materials University of Technology Dresden NaMLab gGmbH, Germany

Prof. Dr. Ing. T. Mikolajick started his career in semiconductor technology and devices when he studied the limits of MOS devices in the late 1980s. He then focused on semiconductor material and device characterization and integrated chemical sensors working for the Chair of Electron Devices at the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg and later at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits in Erlangen. The latter subject was also the topic of his Ph.D. thesis, which he completed in 1996.

From 1996 on he worked in the semiconductor industry, first developing CMOS processes scaled from 0.7μm down to 0.35μm at Siemens Semiconductor in Regensburg. In 1999 and 2000 he was in charge of the integration activities within the development of ferroelectric memories at Infineon. From the end of 2000 he was the project leader for emerging non-volatile memories at Infineon. In 2003 he moved to Infineon Dresden to take over responsibility for technology predevelopment and the technology roadmap for flash memories within the Infineon memory products business unit (later Qimonda).

In late 2006 he moved back to academia, taking a professorship for material science of electron devices and sensors at the Technical University of Mining in Freiberg. In October 2009 he moved to Dresden University of Technology, where he is the professor of nanoelectronic materials and scientific director of NaMLab gGmbH.
