P R A C T I C A L S

Half of the formation is devoted to praticals, which are held in clean-room facilities at the Inter-university Centre for MicroElectronics (CIME - Grenoble) and in laboratories.

Praticals in clean-rooms facilities are devoted to the use of the basic tools for micro-fabrication and characterization of micro-objects (micro-circuits, micro-systems).
The technologies which are more specific to the nano-fabrication (e-beam lithography, innovative soft lithographies…), are adressed through laboratories works.

Practicals in laboratories are proposed by researchers on their current research and are thus at the leading edge of the international research.

Participants Presentation and Poster Session

The participants will be asked to present two slides introducing their background and research activity to the others and the ESONN Committee.

They will have also to bring a poster on their research activity. A poster session will be organized during the first days of the school.
The posters will be exhibited from the beginning to the end of ESONN in order to permit to the participants to exchange each other, with the lecturers and with the organizers, on their own field of research.
