Research Experience
CNRS-LAAS,
Toulouse, France.In "Silicon Microstructures and Integrated Microsystems" group directed by Pr. Augustin Martinez.
Advisor : Dr. Gabriel Blasquez
Theme : Feasibility of a miniature silicon capacitive pressure sensor composed by a silicon/Pyrex capacitive microcell and a self-compensated BiCMOS integrated circuit (see abstract attached). (September 1994 - present).
Microtechnology : - Design and development of capacitive pressure sensing cells,
- Research on low pressure thermoelectric bonding between Pyrex and silicon.
Microelectronic : - Conception and characterisation of the integrated circuit.
Modelling : - Development and simulations of electrical and behavioural model of the
pressure sensor (sensing cell + integrated circuit).
Instrumentation : - Designing and perfecting of a semi-automatic specific characterization
equipment (pressure between 1 mbar and 20 bars, temperature between
–40° C and +180° C).
