I currently work in the Laboratory for analysis and architecture of systems (Laboratoire d’analyse et d’architectures des systèmes, LAAS) in Toulouse, France. It has recently been seriously extended with two news buildings, one of which is hosting the brand new technological facility. It is mainly composed of a 1500-m² cleanroom used to assemble micro- and nanosystems in a dust-free environment.

Inauguration

This new cleanroom was recently inaugurated by political representatives. As the official photographer for this event, I also had the opportunity to take a few pictures of the facility itself and its equipment. I released them under a free license and uploaded them to Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository.

Sample gallery

All these pictures can especially be used to illustrate the relevant articles in Wikipedia, such as Thermal oxidation or Plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. And once a media file is on Wikimedia Commons, it can be used across all Wikimedia projects, such as Wikipedia in Russian or in Japanese.
