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
- 10 sessions of theoretical lectures, based on flipped classes helped by the resolution in students group of numerous examples and cases
- 1 tutorial session related to the software tools
- 3 sessions of design practical works, with teaching support
- 1 industrial seminar
Evaluation methods
The course is subject to continuous evaluation for 3/5 of the final grade during the semester when submitting group work reports on the practical work sessions, and for 2/5 by an individual oral examination in session, unless the mark of the individual oral examination is less than 10/20 in which case the final mark will be that of the individual oral examination only. The in-session exam is an open book exam assisted by a written preparation.The group work note is kept for all sessions of the same academic year.
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.
