Main themes
This cursus is part of the MEMS & NEMS, Micro and Nanotechnology ELEC options. LELEC2895 is focused on the understanding and the design of micro-electromechanical devices (MEMS), on transducers (sensors, actuators) made using micro and nanofabrication technologies, to their co-integration with integrated circuits (IC), to their multiphysics simulation and characterisation, to their reliability and their interconnect.

Teaching methods
The course is organised as following
- 8 sessions of theoretical lectures
- 3 sessions of exercices
- 2 tutorial sessions to become acquainted with the software required for the project
Evaluation methods
The project evaluation is based on the style and content of a written report and an oral presentation made by group. The exam is an open book format.
Other information
LELEC2560 Micro and Nanofabrication Techniques is a desirable prerequisite. Basic knowledge of electronics, solid-state physics, materials science and chemistry is an advantage.
