Coming back for the second edition in 2025 !
Micro and Nano-fabrication tools for innovating applied electronics and fundamental research
Micro and Nano-fabrication tools for innovating applied electronics and fundamental research
2nd International Summer School on Micro and Nano-fabrication tools for innovating applied electronics and fundamental research
Do you wish to develop your knowledge in Micro and Nano-fabrication tools or Nanotechnology, while traveling the world, discovering french “art de vivre”, and meeting new people with different cultural backgrounds ?
In the south of France, you will study within a high ranking French engineering institute, INSA Toulouse,
and have the chance to fabricate your own device in clean room and research facilities.
Design your own summer school program with one
or two lab work thematic sessions among :
- Microelectronics – MOS (metal oxide semiconductor) technology (elementary components, diode, transistor, integrated circuits)
- Energy : integrated energy harvesting (solar cell) and storage (micro-supercondensator) technologies
- Nano – chemistry : chemical sensors based on metal oxide semi-conductors nano-objects
- Nano-Physics : remarkable properties of devices integrating 2D materials (graphene, …)
- Quantum technologies : ultrasensitive sensors and quantum cryptography* (*only for 4 weeks program)
+ Fundamental concept lectures
+ Conferences by scientific experts
+ French Culture and Language
