Research Areas & Lines

The Instituto de Microelectrónica de Sevilla is structured into Research Units whose scientific objectives focus primarily on the implementation and experimental verification of innovative concepts related to the design of micro- and nano-electronic circuits and systems.

The Research Lines developed at IMSE-CNM aim to provide solutions both in traditional sectors, such as communications, processing systems or instrumentation, and in emerging sectors, such as medical engineering, environment or space technology. These lines also consider the introduction of new devices, such as nano-sensors and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), and the use of unconventional computing paradigms, such as neural networks or fuzzy logic.

The main research activities carried out at IMSE can be grouped in Research Areas and Lines as follows:

• Analog, Mixed-Signal and Radio Frequency (AMS-RF) Circuits
