Video ExCELSiOR

The video presents the facilities, the large equipment and the researchers involved in the ExCELSiOR project.
Specifically, the video present an overview of the project and the new environmental controlled spaces of IEMN where ExCELSiOR facilities are installed. The three large ExCELSiOR ‘s instruments are then successively presented. An interview of a PhD student who his research is directly connected to the project as well as an interview of the director of the start-up ‘Vmicro’ show the training and innovation impacts of ExCELSiOR.

French CNRS Research Laboratories Pavilion at European Microwave Week: 3-7th 2016

French CNRS Research Laboratories Pavilion at European Microwave Week
London 3 – 7 October 2016

European Microwave Week (http://www.eumweek.com/) is the first Europe’s Premier Microwave, RF, Wireless and Radar Event with about 1500 participants. A large exhibition is organized with more than 300 exhibitors including major industrial leaders in the field of microwave technology, equipment and systems and well-known research institutes.

French CNRS Research Laboratories Pavilion exhibits technological and measurement services of the five largest CNRS French laboratories operating in the frame of microwave to THz activities. The main targeted activities concern high frequency advanced technologies, devices, circuits and systems for space, military and public telecommunications and sciences applications. Technological services within RENATECH network involve III-V, Silicon devices and circuits, nanotechnologies, RF MEMS, microwave and millimeter components, calibration kits, while the measurements services offer up to THz on-wafer facilities, EMC large equipment. The stand promotes also the EQPX ExCELSiOR and LEAF.

Kolloquium der Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik, University of Stuttgart December 6th, 2016

« HF Nanocharacterization: Toward new instrumentation and methods »
G. Dambrine – IEMN – University of Lille, France


Abstract: The seminar aims to detail some aspects of the research activity within the frame of the ExCELSiOR Nanosciences Characterization Center (www.excelsior-ncc.eu) located at IEMN-University of Lille-CNRS.

Benefiting of expertise in both HF characterization and near field microscopy, new instruments and/or associated techniques are elaborated to target measurement at low scale associated to broadband spectroscopy from microwave to FIR.

The seminar will particularly focus on:

(i) HF nanoprober constituted of SEM, nano-manipulators and a new class of fine pitch HF probes will be presented; performance to obtain calibrated S-parameters of nanodevices will be discussed.

(ii) Quantitative measurements of attoFarad capacitances using Scanning Microwave Microscope associated to microwave interferometry system will conclude the seminar.

Séminaire Excelsior : SMiM de PrimeNano – 28/01/2016

Séminaire Excelsior sur le SMiM de PrimeNano le jeudi 28 Janvier à 10h, salle du conseil

La société PrimeNano (http://www.primenanoinc.com/) a développé un système de microscopie d’impédance à haute fréquence et en champ proche qui s’adapte sur différents AFM (Bruker et Asylum Research).
Ce système est composé en particulier d’une nouvelle pointe AFM qui a la particularité d’être blindée pour améliorer la mesure de très faible capacité.
Nous aurons la visite de Stuart Friedman directeur général qui présentera sa société et sa technologie.
