معرفی
Prof. Franz Kreupl is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and Head of the Department of Hybrid Electronic Systems at the Technische Universität München (TUM) since 2011. He holds a Diploma in Physics (1994) and a Dr. rer. nat. in Physics (1999) from the University of Regensburg. His research focuses on carbon-based materials (nanotubes, nanowires, graphene) for electronic components, sensors, interconnects, and energy storage. Key contributions include pioneering work on graphenic carbon for DRAMs, 3D storage technologies, and X-ray transmission windows.
Prof. Kreupl has held roles at Siemens, Infineon, Qimonda, and SanDisk, leading R&D in nanomaterials and memory systems. He is a Senior Member of IEEE, member of the German Physical Society (DPG), and contributed to the International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS). His awards include the Rohde & Schwarz Prize (2017), SanDisk Patent Awards (2011/2010), and the Qimonda Innovation Award (2008).
- Key Projects: First integrated carbon nanotube vias (2001), graphene-based DRAM (2005), graphenic carbon X-ray windows (2015).
- Professional Roles: Vice Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Erlus AG, reviewer for Science/Nature, and expert for EU and BMBF initiatives.
His research spans nanomaterials integration into semiconductor devices, with over 100 publications, 390+ patents (110 granted), and citation index h=44.
