Teams

The activities of the EDMiNA (Evaluation of Micro and Nano-Assembled Devices) team are focused on the integration of innovative materials, design, modeling, characterization, performance study and assessment of the reliability of electronic and photonic devices. Understanding and modeling the physical mechanisms are at the heart of our issues. In this way, the group relies on recognized skills in metrology, optical and optoelectronic (from UV to IR), electromagnetic (from DC to 110 GHz) and acoustic characterization of materials through dedicated platforms, and multi-physical modelling, whether through the use of analytical calculation codes or numerical approaches (FEM, FDTD).

Based on a broad academic and industrial partnership and an electrical and optical characterization platform (OpERaS), our research focuses on the study of the impact of:

• Integration of new (nano)materials
• Miniaturization, packaging and interconnection to operating environment
• Severe environmental stresses on the functionality of micro and nano-assembled electronic and photonic devices

Electronic devices

• Dielectric (nano)materials for capacitors: forming, electrical and physical characterizations
• Passive devices and embedded technologies: assessment of electrical performances, durability, reliability
• Advanced interconnections for packaging: FEM modeling, non-destructive imaging (Scanning Acoustic Microscopy)

Optoelectronic / Photonic devices

• Reliability evaluation of LEDs, Laser diodes, photodetectors: Electro-optical characterizations, Physics of failure, Packaging impact on performances
• Luminescent (nano)materials for LED
• Integrated optics for optical sensing
