Record power density aluminium gallium nitride barrier transistors (12/2019)

Microcopy images and schema of structure

Researchers from IEMN, CRHEA, LAAS and Saint Gobain Lumilog claim record power performance at 40GHz from aluminium gallium nitride (AlGaN)-barrier high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) on freestanding gallium nitride substrates.

A new semiconductor material (11/2019)

Microcopy image and schema of structure

In collaboration with researchers from CEA-LETI in Grenoble, C2N of Palaiseau and Max-Planck Institute in Stuttgart, a new semiconductor, Al5+αSi5+δN12, was synthesized by high temperature annealing of aluminum nitride films under silicon flux. A high resolution transmission electron microscopy study combined with theoretical calculations allowed to determine the crystalline structure of this new material that could have applications for the emission and detection of UV light as well as for the realization of transistors.

New holography method with GaN metasurfaces (07/2019)

Microscopy images Conventional hologram designs lack orbital angular momentum selectivity. We designed metasurface holograms consisting of GaN nanopillars with discrete spatial frequency distributions allowing the reconstruction of distinctive orbital angular momentum dependent holographic images.

European metrology project GIQS kick-off (06/2019)

GIQS project The European project GIQS (Graphene impedance quantum standard) aims at developing impedance standard easier to operate thanks to the use of graphene on SiC. The consortium, gathering 7 national metrology institutes from European network EURAMET and 2 national metrology institutes form Asia has been reinforced by CRHEA and C2N, who will bring their recognized expertise in graphene growth and processing. The project has just started for 3 years. Read more...
