The network of major technological research centers http://www.rtb.cnrs.fr What makes French nanoscience research unique is the very dense network of specialized technological facilities necessary for applications. A national network of large centers for basic technological research was established in 2003 to implement a plan to support a network of nanomanufacturing centers and to enable laboratory research teams to make use of a set of globally competitive nanomanufacturing methods. The national network is coordinated by CEA, France’s commission on atomic and alternative energies, and CNRS, the national center for scientific research. Research focuses on five themes: • Integration of technologies and heterogeneous systems • Micro-, nano-, and biosystems • Micro- and nanoelectronics and ultimate (single-molecule) electronics The centers are clustered at 5 sites: • The Rhône-Alpes cluster includes the CEA-LETI center and the Upstream Technological Platform, known as PTA. Research themes include quantum nanoelectronics, nanomagnetism, and spin electronics, as well as the interface between biology, on the one hand, and, on the other: nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, molecular electronics, mechanical nanosystems, and nanomaterials. These are complemented by the principal research themes of LETI: Above IC, microelectronics, photonic systems, and biochips. The Rhône-Alpes cluster also includes several other structures on various sites: - the Minatec cluster, created at initiative of CEA-LETI Grenoble and INP Grenoble, organizes the activities of 4,000 individuals. http://www.minatec.org - the Crolles site, which also houses the STMicroelectronics company, has the only 300 µm nanoelectronics factory in France, with about 1,000 research personnel, working on transistor and integrated circuit architectures, manufacturing processes, and design methodologies. This center manufactures experimental circuits for laboratories throughout the world. http://www.st.com - FMNT, the micro- and nanotechnologies federation, operates six laboratories. http://fmnt.online.fr • The Nord cluster is home to the IEMN (institute of electronics, microelectronics, and nanotechnology) center created in 1992 by the CNRS, Université des Sciences et Technologies de Lille (USTL), Université de Valenciennes et du Hainaut Cambrésis (UVHC), and the Institut Supérieur d’Électronique et du Numérique (ISEN).
