The IMB-CNM will develop chips to produce and distribute renewable energy
This project, financed with more than 7 million euros, will improve the semiconductor technology of devices involved in the production and distribution of renewable energy. The objective is to develop new systems based on silicon carbide, a semiconductor almost as resistant as diamond, which could be key in the energy transition.
Awarded an ERC Proof of Concept grant to the PRONTO project for sustainable diagnostic devices
The project led by Neus Sabaté, a researcher at the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona, has been selected to receive funding from the European Research Council for her PRONTO project: self-PoweRed cONductimeter for digiTalization of rapid mOlecular diagnostics.
The Generalitat Minister of Business and Labour meets with the IMB-CNM team to discuss the PERTE Chip
Roger Torrent, Minister of Business and Labour of the Generalitat of Catalonia, visited today the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona and its Clean Room, to hold a meeting with the Management team and talk about the Catalan semiconductor ecosystem and the possibilities of PERTE Chip in the territory.
The first Spanish nanosatellite space propellant, with technology from CSIC and the company IENAI SPACE, reaches orbit
This is the first Spanish electric thruster for nanosatellites, developed by the startup IENAI SPACE, to maximize the lifetime of the devices and offer orientation control to nanosatellites. The electric drive uses innovative electrospray technology, based on silicon chips manufactured in the CSIC's Micro and Nanofabrication Clean Room at the IMB-CNM.
