The Instituto de Microelectrónica de Sevilla (IMSE-CNM – Seville Institute of Microelectronics) is an R&D&I joint center of the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC - Spanish National Research Council) and the Universidad de Sevilla. Together with its counterpart institutes in Barcelona and Madrid, it forms part of the Centro Nacional de Microelectrónica (CNM - National Microelectronics Center). Its main area of specialization is the design and test of CMOS analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits and their use in different application contexts such as radiofrequency, microsystems or data conversion. The projects undertaken at the Institute focus primarily on implementing innovative concepts in silicon.\r\nMost of the IMSE-CNM staff work for the CSIC and the Universidad de Sevilla. IMSE-CNM employees are involved in advancing scientific knowledge, designing high level scientific-technical solutions and in technology transfer. Their duties include both research and teaching activities, the latter mainly at official master and PhD degrees..\r\nThe Institute also participates in several technology and knowledge transfer activities with microelectronics companies, at both national and international level. These activities take the form of collaboration in numerous research contracts, the organization of training courses and the provision of scientific and technical consultation services for companies and government departments.
