ECOSYM

Energy, COmponents, SYstems, Microelectronic

ECOSYM is a multidisciplinary team, covering fields from material chemistry to energy conversion systems. Developing innovative answers to the future needs of portable devices and power electronics is the team's research key point. Its' activities are mainly focused on the use of porous semi-conductors and wide bandgap materials such as SiC, GaN and ZnO in microelectronics and vibratory energy recovery systems. Furthermore, the team uses it's expertise in order to develop energy conversion and the management of macroscopic systems.

This research, needing high end facilities, is operated in the CERTeM – Technological R&D Center for Microelectronics, a technology center including a 450 m² cleanroom.

ECOSYM team focuses on four research operations:

Synthesis, fonctionalization and characterization of porous semi-conductors, materials with a wide range of physical properties, and application in microelectronics.

Characterization and use of wide bandgap materials such as SiC and GaN in order to build optimized electronic power components.
more

Design, manufacturing and characterization of various micro and nano electromechanical systems.
more

Study and development of new architectures of PV cells and power components, for the production, management and "smart" conditioning of energy.
