IEMN is recruiting

A person responsible for the back-end resources of the Institute's platforms. The manager will be responsible for the integration of components into systems and the packaging, cutting and thinning of wafers. Context: The IEMN is a 500-strong research laboratory that plays a major role at international level in the field of [...]

Kick-off Meeting RTB Network

A network, available to all those who need to make micro or nano objects invites you to an information and exchange day to find out about the possibilities of access to the technological resources of the basic technological research network (RTB), on Friday 29 March 2013, from 10am to 4pm at the Laboratoire Central [...]

Nanothermodynamics

Article published in nanotechweb on 7 December 2012 Researchers in Belgium and France have determined a new value for the surface energy of solid selenium and have found it to be considerably higher than previously thought. Selenium is a key element in nanotechnology and the new result will be important for a variety of applications [...]

Transistors take on the third dimension

For the first time, researchers at LAAS and IEMN have built a truly 3D nanometric transistor. The miniaturisation limits for electronic components may be further away than previously thought. A team from the Systems Analysis and Architecture Laboratory (LAAS-CNRS, Toulouse) and the Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnology Institute (CNRS/University of Toulouse) have [...]

New orientation for gallium nitride on silicon transistors

The first millimeter-wave power demonstration of aluminium gallium nitride/gallium nitride (AlGaN/GaN) high-electron-mobility transistors (GaN) grown on a (110) silicon substrate has been claimed by a  French team of researchers [A. Soltani et al, IEEE Electron Device Letters,  published online 7 March 2013]. The team consists of workers from Institut d’Electronique, de Microélectronique et de Nanotechnologie […]
