Straining the crystal lattice of a semiconductor is a very powerful tool enabling controlling many properties such as its emission wavelength, its mobility…Modulating and controlling the strain in a reversible fashion and in the multi% range is a forefront challenge. Strain amplification is a rather recent technique allowing accumulating very significant amounts of strain in […] >>

The proposed topic is part of a CARNOT project aiming at developing a new generation of force sensors based on optomechanical transduction. These force sensors will be implemented in ultrafast AFM microscopes for imaging and force spectroscopy. They will allow to address biological and biomedical applications on sub-microsecond or even nanosecond time scales in force […] >>

The objective is to design a 2D matrix structure for quantum computing on silicon in order to consider structures of several hundred physical Qubits. In particular the subject will be focused on: – The functionality of the structure (Coulomb interaction, RF and quantum) – Manufacturing constraints (simulation and realistic process constraint) – The variability of […] >>

Improving the performance of power electronics components is a major challenge for reducing our energy consumption. Diamond appears as the ultimate candidate for power electronics. However, the small dimensions and the price of the substrates are obstacles to the use of this material. The main objective of the work is to overcome these two difficulties […] >>

The need for biological sensing solutions is constantly growing. Amid targeted applications, some require biosensor with high sensitivity. At CEA LETI we are running a project that aim at developing novel innovative wound dressing equipped with graphene biological sensors to track wound bacterial proliferation indicative of sepsis. The sensor is a Solution gated graphene FET-like […] >>
