Minatec® centre: resources

Minatec® was launched at the instigation of the CEA and the Institut Polytechnique de Grenoble (INPG), bringing together 4,000 people at Grenoble's scientific research centre. The site is already home to Leti, Europe's top centre for applied research in microelectronics and microtechnology, and its considerable resources.
The various new buildings will be completed between now and 2006. In 2001, 6,000 sq m of temporary structures were installed to accommodate the first laboratories, startups, European networks and researchers attracted by the Minatec
® dynamic.

> Research platform
- 8,500 sq m of clean rooms in existing CEA-Leti facilities;
- Advanced components: 14,000 sq m of new premises for characterization, photonics and design;
- Smart devices: 5,000 sq m with MINATEC IDEAsLaboratory, an idea generator;
- 1,200 people from CEA and university laboratories working on upstream, fundamental basic and applied technology research.


>
Industrial development complex
- 10,000 sq m of premises and clean rooms for startups in the early stage, joint laboratories and R&D teams from firms involved in Minatec technology transfers;
- 1,000 jobs in industry are planned to accompany this activity.

> Training premises
- Initial training: 9,000 sq m of buildings for 1,000 student engineers and 120 faculty members from INP Grenoble: notably two schools, the Graduate School of Electronics and Radioelectricity (ENSERG) and Graduate School of Physics (ENSPG), the Telecommunications Department and the Doctoral School of Electronics, Electrical engineering, Automation, Telecommunications and Signals (EEATS).
- Continuous training: 500 interns will be taken every year by the new
Continuous Training in Microelectronics and Microsystems
(CFCMM).
- The Interuniversity Micrelectronics Centre (CIME), with 3,000 sq m of new premises and clean rooms, due to open at Minatec in 2005, will act as a resource centre for all the above training activities.


>
Maison des Micro et Nano Technologies
- 5,000 sq m of offices, with meeting rooms, a library and a 300-seat auditorium;
- Social and coordination centre, in the middle of the training, research and development facilities, accommodating about 100 people on a temporary or permanent basis.

The pedestrian precinct is an essential part of Minatec, running north from the MMNT. The centre's main activities are located on either side of the precinct.
It is both a means of access and a place to meet and relax.
It will have an indoor atmosphere, thanks to the canopies over the entrances and the interplay and light and shade from the lattice roof.

The Maison des Micro et Nanotechnologies (MMNT) is the centre's frontispiece, opening onto the city of Grenoble. It is entirely given over to exchange and communication. In particular it houses an amphitheatre seating 400 people.
