The J-FAST laboratory associates the University of Tsukuba in Japan, where it is also located, and in France, Université Grenoble Alpes (UGA) and CNRS via a consortium of several laboratories in the Grenoble region, such as the Néel Institute (CNRS), the Microelectronics Technology Laboratory (CNRS/UGA), and the Spintec laboratory [1] (CNRS/UGA/CEA). Supported by the industrialist Air Liquide, J-FAST is a strong axis of the strategic partnership that UGA has maintained with the University of Tsukuba since 1997.
The scientific program of J-FAST is mainly focused on the etching and selective growth of semiconductors for applications in microelectronics and optoelectronics.


The strength of this multidisciplinary partnership is that it is working to provide answers to the current challenges of developing manufacturing processes for energy and material-saving devices, on the road to sustainable and frugal electronics.
