Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), France


CNRS: The French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) is a government-funded research organization, under the administrative authority of France's Ministry of Research. CNRS has around 25500 employees in 1100 research and service units spread throughout the country and covers all fields of research. Interdisciplinary programs and actions offer a gateway into new domains of scientific investigation and enable CNRS to address the needs of society and industry. Three of its research units are involved in the TIPS project:

INL - CNRS, UMR 5270

The INL Laboratory (Lyon Institute of Nanotechnology, http://inl.cnrs.fr/) is research unit of 130 permanent employees based in Lyon, common to Ecole Centrale de Lyon (ECL), INSA, UCBL and CPE. Its research concerns micro/nano-technology and systems in multidisciplinary fields such as electronics, photonics, optoelectronics, nanobiotechnolgy, energy, healthcare,... In particular, INL hosts the NanoLyon technological platforms with new clean rooms and has strong expertise on monolithic integration of functional oxides or III-V devices on Si. INL researchers, mainly from the "Heteroepitaxy & Nanostructures" team, are involved in TIPS for the elaboration and characterizations of alternative thermoelectric materials based on nanostructured oxides.

ILM - CNRS, UMR 5306

The ILM Laboratory (Institute of Light and Matter, http://ilm.univ-lyon1.fr/) is a research unit of about 300 permanent employees based at the university of Lyon 1 (UCBL). The institute is a multidisciplinary cluster grounded on the synergy between physics and chemistry, and their interfaces. ILM researchers, mainly from the "(Nano)Materials for Energy" team, are involved in TIPS for thermoelectric characterizations and electrical characterizations at low temperatures.

IMN - CNRS, UMR 6502

The IMN (Materials Institute Jean Rouxel, http://www.cnrs-imn.fr) is a multidisciplinary research Institute of about 130 permanent employees based at Nantes. The IMN-CNRS is composed by 5 research teams and a center of micro-characterization (CMC). IMN researchers, mainly from the "Thin films, physical-chemical and thermal characterizations" team, are involved in TIPS for AlN films integration and thermal measurements.

IFW color 240x50

IFW Dresden


The Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research Dresden (IFW) is a non-university research institute and a member of the Leibniz Association (Wissenschaftsgemeinschaft Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz). Its research focus lies on modern materials science whereby explorative research in physics, chemistry and materials science are combined with technological development of new materials and products. The budget is supplied by the Federal German government and the government of the Free State of Saxony in equal parts. The IFW has excellent facilities for the preparation and characterisation of new materials including thin film and nanostructure deposition by several physical and (electro)chemical methods, analytical and structural characterisation (e.g. ICP-OES, SEM/TEM/FIB, XRD, RHEED etc.), magnetic characterisation including low-temperature measurements, transport measurements. In connection with K. Nielsch’s appointment as the Director of the Institute for Metallic Materials new labs for thermoelelectric characterisation and microstructuring/lithography are established.
