Molecular Wires and Logic Circuits Integration in a Single Molecule?

Joachim C., CEMES-CNRS, FR

Hybrid Molecular electronics (one molecule per device) do not offer good perspectives of miniaturization on the long term. The full integration, at the nanoscale, of a calculator will demand all the power of the quantum [...]

Carbon Nanotube Nano-Composite Fibers and Carbon Nanotube Fibers by Wet Spinning Process

Poulin P., Vigolo B., Bernier P., Paillet M., Launois P., Soutric F., Dieudonne M., Grac M., Gedda K., Nanoledge, FR

We gonna present our last developments over carbon nanotubes fibers. How we manage to go from lab process, to continuous process, and how we improve properties.

Advanced Modelling Technique for Microscale Heat Transfer Analysis : Application to the flexible printed circuit microconnectors

Gatto V., Scudeller Y., Lottin O., l'Ecole Polytechnique de Nantes., FR

The paper presents an advanced modelling technique of 3D multi-scale heat conduction problem for the thermal analysis of microsystems and especially flexible printed circuit microconnectors (FPC). Nowadays, more and more applications in automotive and aerospace [...]

Design & Simulation of a CMOS MEMS using Standard Microelectronic CAD Environment

Latorre L., Beroulle V., Nouet P., LIRMM, FR

This paper concerns the design and simulation of a CMOS MEMS-Based Spectrum Analyzer. A Mechanical structure is used for high-Q filtering. Modeling is presented together with associated Verilog-A module. Small signal analysis are then performed [...]

Information Coding for Intramolecular Integration of Logic Functionality

Ciontu F., Roman C., Courtois B., Tima Laboratory, FR

Although molecular electronics has a great potential, the feasibility of this technology will be however conditioned by the possibility of building complex circuits. But while on the technological versant rapid progresses have been accomplished during [...]

Modeling of the Kinetics of Capture of Pathogens Enhanced by a Marangoni Flow

Pham P., Achard J.L., Berthier J., Ginot F., CEA-LETI, FR

Binding of targetted biomolecules, pathogens or analytes on a reactive surface is commonly used for biodiagnostic systems. However the process is slow and inefficient if one relies only on molecular diffusion to transfer the analytes [...]

Microfluidic System For High-Throughput Proteomics

Le Gac S., Arscott S., Druon C., Tabourier P., Rolando C., USTL, FR

The comparative study of a cell type whole proteome in normal, pathological conditions or under the administration of drugs, which is called differential proteomics, appears as a keytool to understand diseases. To reach this goal, [...]

Energy-Band Structure of Strained Indirect Gap Semiconductor: A k . p Method

Cavassilas N., Aniel F., Fishman G., CNRS, FR

A strain Hamiltonian Hst, associated with a sps* k.p Hamiltonian Hkp is used to descibe the valence band and the first two conduction bands of a strained indirect semiconductor. Hst takes into accoutn the Bir-Pikus [...]

Modeling and Simulation of Single-Electron Multi Tunnel Junction Memory

Le Carval G., Le Royer C., Le Carval G., Le Royer C., Sanquer M., Fraboulet D., CEA-LET, FR

For optimization of Quantum-Dot-based Multi Tunnel Junction Memory (MTJM) [1], we propose an original compact model validated by physical simulations. We analyze the impact of physical and technological parameters (Temperature, dots density, geometries…) on writing [...]
