microelectronics
The facility is open to scientific communities of both the academic and private sectors, upon request.
Half-to full-days availability can be provided, depending of the scientific objectives of the users.
Users access may be with or without the assistance of local staff engineers; in the case the latest are not present to assist, a training to the users is then mandatory to follow before accessing the equipment.
The facility includes equipment sush as an anechoic room, a cryoprober, a rapid prototyping equipment, RF and BF equipments, and probes 200 and 300 mm.
The services provided by the facility are the following:
- design of mixed analog/ digital integrated circuits for research puposes only,
- UHF RFID compliance testing, -performance testing of UHF RFID tags and readers,
- characterizations under points (e.g., impedance measurement, power),
- radiation measurements of UHF antennas,
- characterization of the reliability of memories under various stresses (e.g., electrical, thermal),
- characterization, modeling of the evolution of their performance over time (e.g., endurance, retention),
- analog and digital interface characterization low frequency/ radio frequency,
- rapid prototyping of printed ciruits and antennas 3D printing.
