THz technologies
In the field of THz technologies, we are specifically aiming to develop: 1) new source and detector concepts that meet the requirements of future 6G systems and THz imaging/spectrometry systems for use in the field; 2) new low-cost technologies that will enable high-performance building blocks to be produced for the next generation of complex integrated THz devices. Such performance would enable transfer rates of a few terabits per second using THz waves.
Miniaturised sensors and energy sources for the Internet of Things
In the field of miniaturised and connected sensors for the Internet of Things, the IEMN's objective is to provide sensors for instrumentation and industry that go beyond current limits. These miniaturised micro/nano sensors (<1 mm2) will incorporate a data processing chain and functional and energy autonomy through the use of miniaturised high-performance energy sources. One aim is to obtain miniature devices with integrable transducers, including inertial sensors, force and magnetic field sensors, microelectrode-based biological sensors and chemical sensors. The project also aims to develop original nano-fabrication processes, for example based on flexible, printed or additive technologies, or deposition and etching techniques at the atomic layer scale.
