IEMN

The IEMN is a joint research unit of the CNRS which brings together over 450 collaborators across the sites of Villeneuve d’Ascq, Lille, and Valenciennes in the Hauts de France region. The activities of IEMN are organized around 5 thematic departments :

• Nanostructured Materials and Components
• Micro and Nano Biosystems
• Micro and Nano Electronics, Optoelectronics, and Photonics
• Telecommunications Technologies and Intelligent Systems
• Acoustics

and 22 research groups. A matrix organization with highly varied expertise and know-how enables research to be conducted on short, medium, and long-term scales. One third of our activities focus on long-term research (enabling the enrichment of our scientific and technological knowledge), and two thirds on collaborative and partnership-based research, on medium and short-term scales, with national and international industries (large corporations, SMEs, and startups).

To carry out our activities successfully, we have access to high-performance and innovative technological resources grouped within technological platforms that are open to academic laboratories and industries in controlled environment (iso 5 to 8). These include a clean room for micro and nano fabrication spanning over 1600 m2, as well as characterization and packaging platforms spread over more than 1400 m2, allowing for :

• Hyperfrequency, optical, and photonic characterization
• Near-Field Microscopy analysis
• Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) measurements
• Advanced communication system characterization
• Component and system assembly and packaging

We also have several standard commercial simulation tools (TCAD Silvaco, ADS, cadence, comsol, HFSS, etc.) and proprietary tools developed in-house to bridge theory and experimentation.

IEMN teams are involved in several national and international projects and are recognized for their scientific excellence.

The valorization and transfer of research works from the teams also involve the creation of innovative startups, some of which have become success story today.

The research’s offer of IEMN supports industrial projects in the telecommunications, automotive, railway, aerospace, space, biotechnology, and healthcare sectors.
