项目摘要

A significant percentage of the global energy production is consumed by Information and Communications Technology (ICT), and the consumption will be further accelerated with rapid and broad adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) where demand on complex machine learning models with high power consumption is increasing. The NOEMIA project aims to develop a fundamentally novel energy-efficient hardware alternative for machine learning by using Nano-Opto-Electro-Mechanical Systems (NOEMS) technology. Within the project timeline, NOEMIA targets to deliver a world-first Nano-Opto-Electro-Mechanical (NOEM) coupled oscillator array integrated with GeSn photodetectors fabricated via silicon-compatible technologies. Active integration of silicon photonics components with nanomechanical oscillators will allow us to detect sub-nW oscillation with excellent sensitivity and with minimal energy loss. The dynamic behaviour and scalability of the systems will be explored theoretically and device and material-level system tunability will be investigated towards the application for physical reservoir computing, a fast, simple, and energy-efficient option of machine learning.The NOEMIA project (1.16M EUR in total) is approved in the EU CHIST-ERA scheme, and the project consortium consists of 5 institutions from 5 different countries with complementary expertise. The project lead, University of Southampton (UOS) in the UK offers strong expertise of nanodevice fabrication and advanced nanophotonics, and Institut d'électronique de microélectronique et de nanotechnologie (IEMN) in France provides skills of MEMS technology and opto-electro-mechanical characterisation. National Taiwan University (NTU) in Taiwan contributes with their Si photonics and GeSn photodetector expertise, and laser annealing and material modification are conducted by Riga Technical University (RTU) in Latvia. The Institute of Thermomechanics of the Czech Academy of Sciences (CAS) in Czech Republic leads theoretical investigation of nonlinear oscillators. Successful demonstration of novel NOEM integrated oscillator arrays by the unique and interdisciplinary NOEMIA consortium will make a significant impact on the development of next generation AI hardware, one of the most exciting research fields in ICT.

信息和通信技术（ICT）消耗了很大一部分的全球能源生产，并且随着人工智能（AI）的快速和广泛采用，将进一步加速消费，在这种情况下，对具有高功耗的复杂机器学习模型的需求正在增加。 NOEMIA项目旨在通过使用纳米OPTO-Electro Mechanical Systems（NOEMS）技术开发一种从根本上进行机器学习的新型节能硬件替代方案。在项目时间轴中，NoeMia的目标是提供世界优先的纳米 - 机电机电（NOEM）耦合振荡器阵列，该振荡器阵列与通过硅胶技术制造的GESN光电遗传学集成在一起。将硅光子组件与纳米力学振荡器的主动整合将使我们能够以极好的灵敏度和最小的能量损失来检测子-NW振荡。将研究系统的动态行为和可伸缩性，并将调查用于物理储层计算申请的材料和材料级系统的可密索性，这是机器学习的快速，简单，节能的选择。NOEMIA项目（总共116m欧元）在EU Chist-era Consect中批准了5个国家的欧盟计划，以及5个国家的5个国家 /地区的专业企业。英国南安普敦大学（UOS）项目负责人提供了纳米玻璃化制造和先进纳米素质技术的强大专业知识，法国的纳米技术研究所（IEMN）提供了MEMS技术和Opto-Electro机械表征的技能。台湾国家台湾大学（NTU）以其SI光子学和GESN光电探测器专业知识做出了贡献，Latvia的Riga技术大学（RTU）进行了激光退火和材料修改。捷克共和国捷克科学学院（CAS）热力学研究所领导非线性振荡器的理论投资。独特和跨学科的NOEMIA联盟的新型Noem综合振荡器阵列的成功演示将对下一代AI硬件的开发产生重大影响，这是ICT中最激动人心的研究领域之一。
