INSTITUT MATERIAUX MICROELECTRONIQUE NANOSCIENCES DE PROVENCE
UMR CNRS 7334 - Universités d'Aix-Marseille et Sud Toulon Var
Directeur : Rachid Bouchakour
With more than 320 scientists, engineers, technicians, PhD students in physics, chemistry and micro-electronics, the Institute gathers the required expertise for research and education in materials, microelectronics and nanosciences and supports a wide range of programs including modelling, design, architecture, processes, materials and their physico-chemical properties.

IM2NP is run under the joint authority of the CNRS (French National Center for Scientific Research) and two Universities : Université d'Aix-Marseille and Université du Sud Toulon-Var. It is also associated with three Schools of Engineering : Ecole Polytechnique Universitaire de Marseille (Polytech' Marseille), Ecole Centrale de Marseille and Institut Supérieur d’Electronique et du Numérique (ISEN).







Research is performed inside two departments and seventeen teams :
