Description

OPE)N(RA's mission is to pool laboratory resources to optimize their use, allow Federation of Micro and Nanotechnologies (FMNT) partners to access a wider variety of equipment and the expertise of managers, and to offer a centralised access to external users.

The means available within the FMNT federation allow, among other things, the functional characterisation of materials and components, the characterisation of materials and components for spintronics, the functional characterisation in biology, electrical and multi-physical characterisation, measurements of microwave, optomicrowave and electromagnetic compatibility, characterisation of ultra-fast signals, characterisation of integrated optics components and circuits, electromechanical characterisation of piezoelectric materials and microgenerators.
