Méthodologie d'analyse de défaillance pour l'évaluation de la fiabilité de diodes électroluminescentes GaNBaillot, Raphaël 21 November 2011 (has links)
Ce mémoire s'inscrit dans la construction d'une méthodologie d'analyse de défaillance pour l'évaluation de la fiabilité de diodes électroluminescentes, par une approche basée sur l'analyse physique de dégradation et l'extraction de signatures de défaillance électriques et optiques pour localiser les zones dégradées. L'ajout d'analyses physico-chimiques réduit le nombre de composants et peut confirmer les mécanismes de dégradation induits par les vieillissements en stockage actif. Un projet, en collaboration avec le CNES, a permis la mise en évidence des zones sensibles de DELs à MPQ InGaN/GaN à faible puissance (30mW) soumises à un vieillissement en conditions opérationnelles (1500h/85°C/Inominal). L'analyse de défaillance de ces DELs a permis d'expliquer une perte de 65% de puissance optique par la polymérisation de l'huile silicone activée photothermiquement induisant une perte de fluorescence de 69% et une très forte diminution de l'absorption de la lumière de la DEL (90%). Nous avons également démontré (projet CEA-LETI éclairage public) que le même mécanisme est présent dans le mélange gel silicone/phosphore YAG:Ce de DELs blanches à MPQ InGaN/GaN soumises à un vieillissement similaire (85°C/550mA/500h). A 450nm, le rendement de fluorescence a augmenté de 1,2% malgré des pertes en absorption (> 94%) et en réémission de fluorescence (> 85%). La polymérisation de l'huile silicone a induit une perte de puissance optique des DELs de 45% et une dérive de la couleur blanche vers le jaune (≈ 3,6%). Cette dérive est due à un décalage spectral de la fluorescence de l'UV (5nm) vers le bleu entraînant un décalage vers le rouge (2nm) de la lumière de la DEL. / GaN-based LEDs are currently used in a wide range of applications as solid-state lighting, backlighting or full-color displays. Up to date, polymer-based packaging degradation mechanisms are not fully understood. The purpose of this thesis is to work out a methodology of failure analysis contributing towards reliability estimation of GaN-based LEDs under active storage ageing tests. The methodology consists in extracting electro-optical failure signatures to locate degraded zones. A second step is based on physico-chemical analyses used to both confirm failure mechanisms and reduce the number of components to study. Environmental ageing tests (1500h/85°C/Inominal) have been performed on low power InGaN/GaN MQW LEDs (30mW) through a project in collaboration with the French Space Agency (CNES). A 65% loss of optical power has been reported after ageing. Through the methodology, we have found out that optical loss is due to the silicone oil (i.e. chip coating) polymerization activated by photothermal mechanism thereby involving both a 69% fluorescence emission loss and a strong decrease of LED light absorption (90%). A similar failure mechanism has been reported on YAG:Ce/silicone oil mixture located in phosphor converted high power white InGaN/GaN MQW LEDs (CEA-LETI collaboration - Solid-State Lighting project). Fluorescence efficiency has increased (1,2% at 450 nm) despite both strong absorption (94%) and fluorescence emission (85%) losses. Actually, silicone oil polymerization has induced a 45% loss of optical power and a 3,6% yellow shift of white light. Such drift has been linked to both a 5nm blue shift of UV fluorescence involving a 2nm red shift of LED light.

Microfluidic Lab-on-a-Chip for Studies of Cell Migration under Spatial ConfinementSala, Federico, Ficorella, Carlotta, Osellame, Roberto, A. Käs, Josef, Martínez Vázquez, Rebeca 06 December 2023 (has links)
Understanding cell migration is a key step in unraveling many physiological phenomena
and predicting several pathologies, such as cancer metastasis. In particular, confinement has been
proven to be a key factor in the cellular migration strategy choice. As our insight in the field improves,
new tools are needed in order to empower biologists’ analysis capabilities. In this framework,
microfluidic devices have been used to engineer the mechanical and spatial stimuli and to investigate
cellular migration response in a more controlled way. In this work, we will review the existing
technologies employed in the realization of microfluidic cellular migration assays, namely the soft
lithography of PDMS and hydrogels and femtosecond laser micromachining. We will give an
overview of the state of the art of these devices, focusing on the different geometrical configurations
that have been exploited to study specific aspects of cellular migration. Our scope is to highlight the
advantages and possibilities given by each approach and to envisage the future developments in
in vitro migration studies under spatial confinement in microfluidic device
