Highly scaled CMOS technologies offer opportunities of tremendous integration (billion of transistors in the same die) as well as formidable challenges: How to efficiently connect them? How to cope with increased power and power densities? How to mix analog and digital functions on the same substrate? This research group works to find out the answers with foundation research on technology issues, circuit design and special architectures.
Recent advances in microelectronics and microsystems technologies promise to revolutionize biomedical research. The analysis and diagnosis of genetic diseases are based on sophisticated equipment which is often expensive, requiring expertise and time for sample preparation and analysis. Integration of microsystems could improve performance as well as introduce new opportunities for automation, speed and equipments portability. Microstructures/chip for DNA sequencing detection Microfluidics are realized and MEM devices simulations are performed.
This research encompasses various areas of VLSI architectures with particular emphasis on the design of application specific integrated circuits for telecommunications and signal processing.
