Material Growth & Development Facilities (POEM)

 

The material growth & development facilities (POEM) gathers all the C2N advanced growth facilities. 7 engineers develop materials and grow thin layer heterostructures for various scientific projects. They are responsible for the equipments and the development of innovative instrumentation. Epitaxy facilities are installed in a 700 m2 clean-room environment (ISO6) allowing interactions with the nanotechnology processing staff.

This pool of expertise is part of the Department of Materials. It supplies samples for national and international collaborations or projects. In particular, epitaxy is strongly involved in device activities including lasers and detectors for telecommunications, all-optical devices, transistors. Other important topics where epitaxy has a significant role are: spintronic, 2D electron gas, physics of nanostructures, photonic crystals, microcavities, functional oxides, hybrid materials...
