OMEGA. Center for Microelectronics A research support unit CNRS, École Polytechnique, Institut Polytechnique de Paris, 91120 Palaiseau, France. Physics Research areas Resistance to radiations Ultra-low-noise circuits High-frequency chips Key figures 12 Permanent researchers 1 Postdoctorant 3 PhD students 10 Average number of publications per year > Read more > Read more OMEGA is a microelectronics design Center that develops specific integrated circuits for nuclear physics, particle physics and astrophysics detectors. visit OMEGA website > visit OMEGA website > Since the performance of detectors hinges on that of their associated electronics, their readings require specific microelectronic circuits, integrating both analog (low noise amplifiers, shaping filters, comparators etc.) and digital functions (data digitization). The integrated circuits developed at OMEGA for researchprojects also have industrial applications, particularly in the medical and space sectors.
