Nanotechnology Research – Laboratories

The SiNaPS laboratory is committed to basic research on the optical and physical properties of low-dimensional semiconductor structures and their applications to nano optics and nano electronics.

(Website in French) One of the largest applied research laboratories in Micro and Nanotechnologies in Europe, it focuses on microelectronics and microsystems on silicon, systems for biology and health, and optoelectronic and components.

The CEMES goals are for one part to establish links between the atomic architecture and the physical and chemical properties of a material or a nano-material and for another part to design, synthesise and study the first prototypes of molecular nano-machines, studied one at a time.

Nanomaterials (electronic, magnetic and optical) fabrication and analysis.

Research areas include nanomaterials and nanomagnetism.

A large French clean room facility with competences in Micro and Nano electronics.

The Laboratory, a fully-owned unit of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), carries out its research activities within the general context of the nanosciences, at the cross-roads of quantum optics and electronics, of physics, chemistry and biology, of materials science and device physics.

The Lyon Institute of Nanotechnology (INL) is a fundamental and applied research laboratory in the field of micro- and nano-technology. Its mission is to conduct research towards the development of fully-fledged technologies for a broad range of application sectors (semiconductors and micro-electronics, telecoms, energy, health, biology, industrial control, defence, environment).

A major French regional nanotech research center in Grenoble.

Onera (Office National d'Etudes et Recherches Aérospatiales) is the French national aerospace research center. Its expertise is organized into 17 departments. Research includes nanotechnology.
