Welcome speech from PAC-G's director Jerome Beaucour
Set up within the framework of the IRT Nanoelec, the Platform for Advanced Characterisation - Grenoble (PAC-G) proposes access to advanced characterisation techniques as a service. The PAC-G was set up within the frame of IRT Nanoelec, with funding from the "Investissements d’avenir" program (reference ANR-10-AIRT-05).
PAC-G brings together European neutron source ILL, the European synchrotron...
The Consortium des Moyens Technologiques Communs (CMTC) is the Grenoble INP Material characterisation platform. It was created in 1977
The CMTC platform meets an objective to pool cutting-edge equipment in the field of micro- and nano-structural characterisation and centralise expertise to serve the needs of Research, Training and Enhancement.
The CMTC platform proposes several approaches to...

CEA's Fundamental Research Division (DRF) is active in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology and health, materials sciences, climate sciences and the environment. Within this department, the IRIG institute, created on January 1st, 2019 by bringing together 3 former Grenoble institutes of the DRF (IBS, BIG and INAC), conducts research in biology, health, nanosciences, cryotechnologies and...
This talk reports the workflow developed to characterize AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) gate defects in order to link physical defects with their electrical signature. Taking into account the particularities of GaN technologies such as the thin active layer and the interface quality importance, we correlated different technics ranging from «Slice&View» to Transmission...
Synchrotron radiation has become a very important tool in applied research because of its unique properties and capabilities. In this talk, these features are studied in the improvement of the SmartCut Process used by Soitec.
Power electronics are at the heart of our modern society, from every node of the energy distribution grid to your vehicles. Highest efficiency, reliability, and space-saving are required for such applications. Silicon has been widely used in power electronics but shows now its limitation to follow the trend imposed by the power electronics industry. Like so, wide bandgap semiconductors will...

In the last years, the aim of semiconductor industry to produce nanoscale-sized devices determined an increasing interest for a series of 2D materials. Among them, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are under investigation due to some promising electrical characteristics, such as an inherent band gap and a relatively high mobility of charge carriers, exhibited at nanoscale on single...
Synchrotron radiation and neutron techniques have proved to be powerful tools in the understanding of failure mechanisms and in the characterisation of physical and morphological properties of complex structures for microelectronics. The ability to get high quality local as well as statistical information on defects has become paramount for failure analysis and reliability assessment of new...
InnovaXN, the Doctoral programme for innovators with X-rays and neutrons, is an innovative, new, doctoral training programme that provides an exceptional training opportunity for 40 students. Focussing on cutting-edge research projects of industrial relevance, the students will be immersed in the thriving, international, research environment of the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility...
The current trend is to fabricate (GaN) based devices due to the high energy gap, high breakdown field, and saturation velocity of gallium nitride for high-power amplifiers and high-frequency applications. This paper presents a newly developed compact model for input- output gate field-plated (FP) HEMT based on AlGaN/GaN heterojonction taking into account the effects of spontaneous and...
Europe has many large instruments open to researchers from all over the world, whether they are involved in public or private research. However, it is rare for manufacturers to use these instruments. There are many reasons for this: the first is the lack of knowledge of these large scale infrastructures. Aware of the societal importance of these infrastructures, in particular for the...

While x-ray diffraction is widely used to non-destructively screen residual stresses at the surface, deeper investigations are often carried out in a destructive manner. The most popular techniques are the contour method and deep hole drilling. Neutron diffraction offers the unique possibility to map the whole stress tensor in the bulk and near the surface of a given component. Penetration...
