The COSYMA team (COmponents and SYstems for Micro-Acoustics) is specialized in the development and exploitation of acoustic wave components (Bulk Acoustic Waves and Surface Acoustic Waves).
Research Topics
The team applications are focused on frequency sources and filters for telecommunications and on sensors. The research and development activities cover a broad spectrum of scientific and technological fields with a common goal of building micro-acoustic based high-performance devices matching with today and future industry requirements.
- Part of the challenges is in the field of materials with the design of new functional materials, heterostructures and nanostructures that already lead to devices with unequalled performances.
- A broad range of device designs with various architectures including MEMS are investigated. Exploring new designs is greatly facilitated by the use of the team simulation tool.
- At the system level, our main activities are on wireless sensing with the joint laboratory PhASES, and on digital processing of radiofrequency signals in partnership with the OHMS team and the joint laboratory FAST-LAB.
- The team also develops gas and particle SAW based sensors for environment applications. The technology is mature and industrial transfer is expected.
- We are also contributing to mathematical theories and software tools for multiscale modeling and control. In particular, a software package dedicated to semi-automated multiscale multiphysics model derivation is in development.
Strong Industry Partnerships
The CoSyMA team has a strong involvement in industrial collaborations in particular with the spin-off Frec|n|sys, and with the company SENSeOR thanks to the joint laboratory PhASES (Physical Acoustics, Sensors and Embedded Systems). The team has also long terms partnership with other companies and institutions. With the recent joint laboratory FAST-LAB, we expect a fruitful collaboration with Gorgy-Timing.
Involvement in Local Projects and Facilities
Most of the technological projects are using and then supporting the MIMENTO technology plant of the RENATECH network and of significant characterization means.
CoSyMa participates to both LABEX FIRST-TF and ACTION. Its activity is well identified in the themes of the unifying project ISITE of the University of Bourgogne Franche-Comté: structured thin films, functionalized surfaces, manufacturing of micro / nano materials, micro / nano-technologies and time-frequency.
