The Micro/Nano Fabrication Platform

The Micro/Nano Fabrication Platform consists in about 600 square meter of cleanrooms, (ranging from ISO class 8 to 5) dedicated to providing state-of-the-art micro- and nano-fabrication capabilities.

The Micro/Nano Fabrication platform offers facilities, device processing, and characterization equipment to researchers from academia and the private sector. It provides an access to a wide range of advanced techniques for thin-films deposition, thin-films etching, surface patterning, micromachining and back-end processes. It is a multidisciplinary platform active in various research and technological fields, including Si, SiC, III-V and polymers material, lab-on-chip devices, sensors, bio-technologies, nanoelectronics, photonics devices,  … Its state-of-the-art equipment park worth more than 10M€.
