ATOME – Actuator and resistif Technology based Organic materials: toward Multi-sensors platform for Environment monitoring

The ATOME project (Actuator and Resistive Technology based Organic materials: toward Multi-sensors platform for Environment monitoring) is the genesis of a collaboration between the Institute of Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnology (IEMN) and the Institut Catholique d'Arts et Métiers (ICAM). The objective of the project focuses on the development of a connected, autonomous, and portable multi-sensor platform based on impedance sensors. These are developed on low-cost substrates, such as PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards). The collaboration began with the supervision of several final-year engineering students (scientific research theses, MSR) and was strengthened by a doctoral thesis co-funded by the University of Lille and ICAM. This thesis explores different aspects of the sensors in a complementary manner, focusing on both the constituent materials and the automation of their deposition. It also integrates the development of smart electronic systems (IoT, programming, data science) with feedback loops, in order to ensure the precise control of electrochemical depositions and their correlation with impedance measurements.
