NanOdevice mODeling for Low powEr applicationS – NOODLES
Nowadays, the nanoelectronics market is dominated by mobile applications for which ultra-low operating power (LOP) devices are required. Hence, the research efforts are devoted not so much to increase the electrical performance of the single processor, which can be achieved by using an aggressive co
Integrated NAno-Detectors for terahertz Applications – NADIA
THz frequency range (0.1-10 THz) with a wavelength between 30 µm and 3 mm has the unique properties of both penetration of various dielectric materials (including plastics, wood and concrete) and is considered as non-ionizing radiation. THz imaging is an emerging nondestructive evaluation technique
Biosafety of mesoporous silica nanoparticles according to their surface coverage and establishing standards for evaluation – BioSiPharm
Nanoparticles mesoporous silicas (two different porosities) and magnetic 100 nm in diameter are synthesized and then decorated by PEGylation on one hand and by deposition of a phospholipid bilayer at their surface on a second hand. The fate of these nanoparticles will be studied after incubation in
Easy Nitrogen Vacancy Ion Engineering using Focused Ion Beams – ENVIE-FIB
The ENVIE-FIB project aims to build a focused ion beam (FIB) column which will create colorful diamond NV centers, from the implantation of nitrogen atoms in a diamond sample of very high purity and with a spatial resolution below 10 nm. The ions will be extracted from an ECR source (electron cyclot
Active probes for high resolution near field microscopy – SAMIRé
Nanotechnology requires the development of specific characterization tools enabling ever-increasing resolutions. If specific scanning probe microscopy techniques such as AFM or STM are now available already allowing to follow the full development process of certain components, resolved optical techn
InAs Ultra Thin Film-Body Metal Oxide Semiconductor Heterostructure FET on Silicon wafer – MOSINAS
The issues are pursuing Moore's Law. The limitation concerns the power consumption of transistors. The use of III-V materials should allow to reduce consumption while maintaining the same or better electrical performance. The issues of the project are pursuing Moore's
Extreme scalability of MRAM cells and CMOS integration for hybrid circuits – EXCALYB
1) The EXCALYB project aims to establish a technology platform for the realization of spintronic devices based on magnetic tunnel junctions at the 20nm diameter level. 2) Increase the level of maturity of both magnetic memory (MRAM) concepts explored using either writing by field (MRAM cells self-r
Lensless Nanoscale Diffractive Imaging – NanoImagine
The goal of the NanoImagine project is to develop lensless microscopy with sub micrometer spatial resolution and a moderate cost. Images are obtained by recording coherent diffraction pattern without using any lens. It is based on the use of phase-retrieval algorithms. Since few years, it became a v
FLEXIble Gallium Nitride based devices – FLEXIGAN
In recent years, electronic devices and circuits on flexible substrates have attracted a great deal of attention and open new opportunities for a wide range of applications such as flexible radio-frequency identification tags (RFID), mobile sensors, flexible displays ,… In this context, the activi
Nano- and micro-pillars for the control and regulation of cell migration and cell differentiation – Pillarcell
Nature does nothing uselessly (Aristotle: I.1253a8). This is also true for our human body, although it is highly complex and built up by highly synchronized sub-systems and a huge number of individual cells. When a body tissue or cells are placed in a dish, a flask or a multi-well plate, they underg
