MSCA Doctoral Network HINA

The MSCA Doctoral Network HINA project proposes to consider the hybrid integration of alkaline niobate-tantalate thin films, (K,Na)(Nb,Ta)O3 (KNTN, materials with the highest known experimentally measured electro-optic, nonlinear, piezoelectric, elasto-optic coefficients) in photonic and acoustic devices for advanced semiconductor photonics platforms. The final goal of the project is to develop a thin film technology not only offering the state-of-the-art performances but also with reasonable price and viable for real industrial applications in order to stimulate the transfer of newly developed products and technologies by the industry and to help enterprises to withstand global competitive pressures. HINA is project funded by the Horizon Europe programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (Grant Agreement n. 101169557) and coordinated by University of Marie and Louis Pasteur (ex. University of Bourgogne Franche-Comté) and FEMTO-ST Institute Project partners: University of Bourgogne Franche-Comté/FEMTO-ST Institute (coordinator, FR) INSTM/ University of Catania (IT) Czech Academy of Sciences (CZ) Université Paris Cité /MPQ (FR) Annealsys (FR) Université Lyon 1 Claude Bernard/CP2M (FR) Leibniz-Institut für Kristallzüchtung (DE) Paul-Drude-Institut für Festkörperelektronik (DE) AIXACCT (DE) CNRS/C2N (FR) Technische Universitaet Muenchen (DE) Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (ES) Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (BE) PIEMACS (CH) LUMIPHASE (CH) Associated partners: ETHZ (CH) Air Liquide (FR) ST Microelectronics (FR & IT) Cristal Laser (FR) BREVALOR (CH)
