Visite du Pr. François BOONE de l’Université de Sherbrooke au Canada
This invitation is part of an international research and training partnership between the Universities of Science and Technology of Lille 1 and Sherbrooke in Canada. The laboratories involved are the Centre de Recherches en Nanofabrication et en Nanocaractérisation (CRN2) at the University of Sherbrooke (Canada) and the Institute of Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnology (IEMN) at the University of Lille 1. This operation is part of the UMI CNRS 3463: Nanotechnologies and Nanosystems Laboratory (LN2), which was created in July 2012 to maximise the international impact of research work in North America.
The aim is to design and manufacture components and circuits based on gallium arsenide, using the complementary expertise and resources of the two laboratories. Current activities, which began in September 2012 or are planned, concern several areas:
- Design of circuits with a view to their manufacture. The aim is to set up models relating to active and passive elements with a view to being able to design MMIC-type circuits.
- Production of MMIC circuits based on HEMT AlGaN/GaN and InAIN/GaN components for microwave power applications at 94GHz.
- Production of MMIC circuits based on HEMT AlGaN/GaN and InAIN/GaN components for power electronics applications.
This activity benefits from a doctoral student under joint supervision between the two laboratories: Adrien CUTIVET, who began his thesis work on 1 January 2008.er September 2012 as part of a co-funding agreement between the University of Sherbrooke and the President of the University of Lille1. The thesis co-supervisors are Prof. François BOONE, who is the subject of this invitation, and Prof. Jean-Claude De JAEGER. The purpose of F. BOONE's visit is to work directly with the IEMN researchers and A. CUTIVET in order to set up models of passive and active elements to establish a design kit dedicated to the design of Gallium Nitride Monolithic Integrated Circuits for microwave power amplification in the Ka, V and W bands.
