THE CENTER OF MICROELECTRONICS IN
PROVENCE (CMP),
The CMP is a Research and Education center of the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de
Saint Etienne (ENSM-SE), located in Gardanne (medium size city between Aix-en-Provence and
Marseilles) and hosted since 2008 by the brand new Georges Charpak Campus (60 000 m2).
Health, a major
economic sector in
Rhône-Alpes area:
66 000 direct jobs
et 15 000 students.
The CMP was created in 2003 at the heart of a major French
microelectronics cluster (known as the cradle of smart
card industry) which gathers leading manufacturers and
designers of microelectronic devices and systems. From
the beginning, the CMP has adopted a policy of strong
partnerships with the smartcard industry, including large
companies such as STMicroelectronics and Gemalto, as
well as several innovative SMEs. Research is organized in
four departments (including a joint team with CEA-Leti)
covering domains of semiconductor manufacturing and
logistics, digital security, flexible electronics, as well as
emerging fields of bioelectronics and printed electronics.

The CMP is a board member of :
The PACA (Provence-Alpes-Côte
d’Azur) region holds a significant
academic and industrial potential
in ICTs mainly concentrated in two
areas: Aix-Marseille (integrated
device manufacturing and smart
cards) and Nice-Sophia Antipolis
(telecommunications and design).
For instance, It accounts for
about 40% of the French yearly
production
in
semiconductor
devices and for approx. 10 000
employments. Founded in 2005,
the competitiveness cluster SCS
(Secured Communicating Solutions)
coordinates the entire value chain
of ICT trades, ranging from silicon
to applications & uses.

Collaborative R&D platform: Micro-PackS
Micro-PackS is the first R&D structure in the
country bringing together public laboratories
and private companies in order to stimulate
innovation in the frame of the competitiveness
cluster “Secured Communication Solutions”.
The main mission of MicroPackS is to support and
boost collaborative projects
in the field of packaging and
integration of smart devices
and micro-systems, including
hardware security concerns, by providing
state-of-the-art resources to their members
and customers. Since 2005, Micro-PackS is
an association of large corporations, small
and mid-sized businesses, start-ups and
academic partners (currently, 12 members)
sharing operating costs with the support
of the French Ministry of Industry and local
authorities. Micro-PackS spreads its activities
over 700 m2 of clean room space with the
support of a collaborative team of 14 people.

Bioelectronics labs
A full suite of laboratories that permit the
integration of living cells and biomaterials
(proteins, nucleotides, sugars) with electronic
devices and their subsequent characterization
is present in the Department of Bioelectronics.
It includes a biology laboratory, equipped for
molecular biology, microbiology, immunology,
biochemistry, and cell culture, and integration
laboratories equipped for electrophysiology
(patch clamp, microelectrode arrays), electrical
and
electrochemical
characterization,
fluorescence imaging and video-microscopy.
Digital Security labs
ENSM-SE and CEA-LETI have created a
laboratory dedicated to the characterization
of the security of integrated circuits. The
equipment of the laboratory allows preparation
of the circuit to be tested, to perform fault
injection attacks (electrical glitches, lasers)
and side channel attacks: differential power
analysis (DPA) and electromagnetic analysis
(EMA). Dedicated software tools are also under
development to extract sensitive information
from these experimental results.
RESEARCH DEPARTMENTS
Tactical planning and operational management of
automated material handling in a semiconductor
manufacturing facility
Conducting polymer electrodes for electrocorticography
Manufacturing sciences & logistics
department (SFL)
Bioelectronics department (BEL)
The SFL Department develops research
activities in two main areas: “Manufacturing
sciences and logistics for microelectronics”
and “Microelectronics for manufacturing and
logistics”. The first area is mostly concerned
with Semiconductor Manufacturing and
is interested in Advanced Process Control
and modeling and optimization at various
decision levels. The second area studies
the impact of communicating solutions in
logistics processes, in particular in supply
chains, healthcare, helicopter maintenance
and city and multimodal logistics. The
department currently consists of about 25
members (7 faculty, 5 postdocs, 3 engineers
and 10 PhD students), and regularly
welcomes visiting scientists.
The BEL Department was created in 2009 to
support the convergence of information and
communication technologies with the world
of health. It combines expertise in organic
electronics and biology. Its research aims to
elucidate the fundamentals of the electronic
materials/biology interface, with a view to
launching new bioelectronics technologies.
Its research axes are (1) novel devices
for neural interfacing, (2) biosensors for
medical diagnostics, toxicology and drug
discovery, and, (3) cell adhesion devices.
It collaborates closely with leading
academic teams across the world, and with
several biotechnology/biomedical start-up
companies.

department (SAS)
security
The SAS Department, a joint R&D team
between ENSM-SE and CEA-LETI, conducts
applied research on design and testing of
secure integrated circuits (such as smart
cards or trusted platform modules). The
department has acquired strong practical
and theoretical expertise on the threats
(also called «attacks») that put at risk these
circuits. The research aims to understand
and model the complex physical phenomena
which enable such attacks. Those models
are thus integrated in ad hoc CAD tools
which enable the application of «secure by
design» methods. The department currently
consists of approx. 26 members (10 faculty,
1 postdoc, 7 engineers and 8 PhD students).
Flexible electronics department
The Flexible Electronics Department
conducts applied research in the fields
of printed electronics and heterogeneous
integration on flexible substrates. It
has expertise in two domains: i) ink jet
printing (material, process and devices),
ii) mechanics and reliability of flexible
assemblies. The department currently
consists of approx. 25 persons including
4 Full Professors, 2 Assistant-Professors
and 8 PhD students. The PS2 department is
involved, with industrial partners, in many
research projects covering 3D integration
(System In Package), smart flexible devices,
and printed solar cells.

the initial broad-based education of engineers
to applied and fundamental doctoral research.
The school’s expertise is based on formal
academic education with a bridge to the
realities of the business world, supported by
innovative teaching methods. Its pioneering
spirit in the exploration of new scientific fields
and its international partnerships have lifted
it into the top 10 French engineering schools.
The École Nationale Supérieure des Mines of
Saint-Étienne has established its fourth
and fifth research centers, one devoted to
microelectronics and the other forged out of a
new alliance between engineering and health.
These two new centers are harvesting
the synergies between research and
industry, demonstrating the school’s vision,
recepti-veness to its customers’ needs, and
recognition of the role it has to play in today’s
world.
