This position is part of the LabEx Microelectronics at the University of Grenoble Alpes (UGA), a center of excellence that brings together 12 laboratories (including one international laboratory) to address the technological, industrial, and environmental challenges of the next semiconductor revolution. Among other goals, this project aims to develop innovative solutions in micro- and nanoelectronics, with a particular focus on sustainability and circular electronics.

As part of this LabEx Microelectronics project, you will join a team comprising the TIMA laboratories (secure design and PUFs), CEA-Leti (FPGA/ASIC prototyping and reliability), and UCLouvain (aging modeling and economic models) to develop lightweight authentication and traceability mechanisms, enabling the reuse of integrated circuits in a circular electronics framework.

Lightweight Hardware Authentication and Traceability /

• Evaluation of robustness, uniqueness, reliability, and sensitivity to aging
• Modeling of aging mechanisms (BTI, HCI, etc.)
• Experimental validation on FPGAs and/or ASICs with accelerated aging campaigns
• Analysis of trade-offs between security, surface area, power consumption, and cost

Repurposing, Reconfiguration, and Business Models

• Study of realistic scenarios for the second life of integrated circuits
• Analysis of economic barriers and incentives for manufacturers
• Identification of pragmatic models that promote the adoption of multi-life electronics

Frugal Software, Modularity, and Obsolescence

• Analysis of software obsolescence as a barrier to circular electronics
• Definition of frugal software principles compatible with degraded performance
• A multi-level approach combining multi-life hardware design and long-term software support

• Publication of research articles related to these activities

• Integrated circuit design and hardware security
• Aging and reliability modeling
• FPGA prototyping and/or ASIC design
• Security analysis, traceability, and sustainability issues
• Required degree: Ph.D
