ABDELMALEK ZEMOUR,
CIFRE PhD student at STMicroelectronics.
This thesis is the result of a collaboration between an academic laboratory (the IEMN-CNRS) and a company (STMicroelectronics).
It fits perfectly with the ‘Électronique France 2030’ strategy, which enables France to strengthen its national sovereignty in certain sectors of the electronics industry.
Supervised by Mohammed ZAKNOUNE (DR-CNRS), Malek ZEGAOUI (IR-CNRS) and Pascal Chevalier (Manager, STMicroelectronics), this thesis was carried out under an industrial research training agreement (CIFRE).
Throughout his three-year PhD, Abdelmalek demonstrated unwavering tenacity and resilience, achieving excellent results that represent the global state of the art. On his own initiative, he implemented an innovative thermal interposer approach for III-V devices on silicon, compatible with CMOS manufacturing processes. This approach has been the subject of a patent application filed jointly by STMicroelectronics and the CNRS.
