Innovative Materials for New Devices
The aim is to develop a structured program focused on innovative materials and their use in the creation of new devices. The materials concerned include both epitaxial semiconductors, such as element III nitrides, and materials processed using micro- and nanofabrication platforms available at the university's technological platforms.
The applications targeted by these innovative materials fall within the fields of microelectronics and photonics.
Projects supported by this innovative materials program must demonstrate the added value of materials developed or micro-nanostructured in the IdEx laboratories. This will strengthen activities where innovative materials play a key role and consolidate expertise in the areas of development and micro-nanofabrication. Supported projects must be consistent with existing or planned investments at the IdEx site.

The design and modeling of innovative material properties using advanced numerical methods such as machine learning and artificial intelligence are integrated to this structuring program. Developments in this area will foster collaboration with the 3IA Côte d’Azur Institute (AI Cluster).
Several themes have been identified. These are complemented by an Emerging Research Axis focused on innovative materials, which will enable the implementation of projects on new topics whose scientific significance may become apparent during the program's duration.
