Local and global Carleman estimates play a central role in the study of some partial differential equations regarding questions such as unique continuation and controllability. We survey and prove such estimates in the case of elliptic and parabolic operators by means of semi-classical microlocal techniques. Optimality results for these estimates and some of their consequences are presented. We point out the connexion of these optimality results to the local phase-space geometry after conjugation with the weight function. Firstly, we introduce local Carleman estimates for elliptic operators and deduce unique continuation properties as well as interpolation inequalities. These latter inequalities yield a remarkable spectral inequality and the null controllability of the heat equation. Secondly, we prove Carleman estimates for parabolic operators. We state them locally in space at first, and patch them together to obtain a global estimate. This second approach also yields the null controllability of the heat equation.
