LTM is a public research laboratory located in Grenoble, Minatec-Leti pole.

   It is affiliated to the National Center for Scientific Research (INSIS - Institute of Engineering Science and Systems) and to Grenoble University.
Since it foundation in 1999, LTM has been conducting applied research in the domain of micro and nanotechnologies.

   The main application is being the development of increasingly miniaturized microelectronics devices.
However, recently, other innovative applications, in nanophotonics, nanofluidics and biology are also targeted.

After 20 years devoted to the development of nanotechnologies for microelectronics, LTM is now organised into two main activities: the development of technologies for microelectronics and the transfer of these technologies to new applications.

• The MiNASEE (MIcro- & NAno-technologies pour la Santé, l'Environnement et l'Energie) team draws inspiration from technologies from microelectronics to address other research fields, such as health diagnostics, mechano-biology, optimization of energy consumption, or environmental sensors design.

• The PROSPECT (PROcédés innovantS pour les dispositifs oPto et nanoEleCTroniques) team carries out upstream and prospective technological research in close collaboration with microelectronics industry. Its objective is to develop innovative and sustainable processes and materials to meet the needs of emerging opto- and nanoelectronic devices while reflecting on the energy and ecological impacts of its activity.
