CEA will participate in the project providing its competences by providing a complete
organic CMOS technology, in the experimental characterization of the electrical
behaviour of semi-conductor devices (TFTs, interconnects, sensors), and the
production of compact electrical simulation models for the devices that will be
integrated in the i-FLEXIS system (leader of WP4). CEA will also participate in the
design of the amplification and readout electronics that will convert the information
provided by the photonic sensor in a usable electrical signal, according to the
requirements of the electronic technology that will be used. Finally, CEA will produce
the scaled-up 10x10 sensor array i-FLEXIS prototype, integrating the best identified
sensor unit configuration and the optimized readout electronics. The layouts will be
generated, the subsequent masksets will be fabricated, and the prototypes will be
produced.
The CEA is an internationally recognized technological research organization in the
domains of energy, information and health technologies and defense. Its LITEN
Institute (850 people, 550 patents) is a major Beneficiary of fab to lab R&D with 350
collaborative research contracts in course this year mainly focused on the following
industrial applications :
- Technologies for motor vehicle transport, e.g. electric vehicle (fuel cells, Li batteries,
production of hydrogen, purification, development of biofuels...)
- Solar energy for building (development of rank solar Si, increase in the output of the
photovoltaic solar cells, electric systems, thermal systems, building integration...)
- Mobile electronics and high Technology industry (micro energy sources, printed
organic electronic devices...).
CEA/Liten facilities include:
* Lab scale clean room (300m², substrate format 110x110mm²) fully equipped with
vacuum and printing equipment dedicated to printed electronics development TRL1-
TRL4.
* PICTIC Pilot Printing Platform for organic electronics = 400m² clean room, set of
printing equipment compatible with sheet format : 320mmx380mm. PICTIC is the
French Printing platform for Organic Electronic to bridge the gap from lab to fab.
PICTIC is open to industrials Beneficiaries for scale-up development and prototyping
TRL4-TRL6.
ROMAIN COPPARD obtained a PhD degree in Physics. He has been working in the field
of Organic Electronics since 2007, and held before various positions at major Silicon
Microelectronics Companies (Alcatel, Applied Materials, ATMEL). He is currently
leading the Printed Electrical Component Laboratory devices. His team is in charge of
developing the Sheet-to-Sheet printed organic CMOS technology. He held 4 patents
and published more than 20 papers.
STEPHANIE JACOB received the M.S. degree in Microelectronics and
Telecommunications from the "Ecole Polytechnique Universitaire de Marseille",
France, in 2004 and the Ph.D. degree in microelectronics from the University of
Provence, France, in 2008. Her Ph.D. work was carried out in CEA-LETI and ATMEL
Rousset, France, on the integration, characterization and modelling of silicon
nanocrystal memories. Since 2008, she has joined CEA-LITEN, France to work on the
electrical characterization and modelling of organic transistors on flexible substrate.
She is the co-author of more than 20 papers in international journals and conference
proceedings.
VINCENT FISCHER obtained an MS degree in Electrical Engineering in 2001 and a PhD
degree in Electrical Engineering in 2004, both from the Grenoble National Institute of
Technology (INPG). He has been working in the field of silicon microelectronics,
holding various positions at design houses and EDA supplier companies, before moving
to printed and organic electronics since 2010. He is currently working in the Printed
Electrical Component Laboratory, focusing on device physics, electrical
characterization, compact modeling and design kit production. He is also interested in
the field of volatile and non-volatile memories, and more specifically SRAMs. He is coauthor
of more than 30 papers in international publications and conference
proceedings.
