Facilities
Location
The SMH team technical facilities are mainly located in the Solid-state electronics, systems and photonics department (D-ESSP), on the Campus of Cronenbourg.
Equipment
Over the years, the SMH team has acquired an appropriate amount of high-end development and test equipment. Together with standard electronics lab tools, our dedicated hardware and software equipment form a full array of conception and testing sets dedicated to the various research projects we are involved in. Dedicated test benches have been developed in order to allow thorough characterization of elementary devices (transistors, transducers, etc.) and integrated circuits. In particular, they feature specific equipment such as:
- A wafer probe (Karl Suss PM5)
- A Precision Semiconductor Parameter Analyzer (Agilent 4156C)
- An 8½ Digit Digital Multimeter (Agilent 3458A)
- A Data Acquisition / Data Logger Switch Unit (Agilent 34970A)
- An FFT Dynamic Signal Analyzer (Agilent 35670A)
- A vacuum tube fast imager (Optronis CR600x2)
- A nanotesla-accuracy Helmholtz coil (engineered by the CNRS)
- A picosecond-pulse laser source (Spectra-Physics Tsunami)
- A temperature chamber (Espec)
Expertise
The team has built solid expertise driven by the main research themes (Technologies for CAD, Multiphysics systems and microsystems).
