The group will coordinate WP7 and will be task leader on activities related to: Task 3.1
Materials Specifications, Development, Selection and Fabrication; Task 3.2 Amplifiers
architecture, design, development, fabrication and test; Task 4.2 CMOS platform
development and integration; T4.4. Oxide CMOS Compact Modelling and TDK
Integration; Task 5.4 Stability and ageing tests;
Uninova will participate through
Centro de Excelência de Microelectrónica e Optoelectrónica de Processos (CEMOP),
and Centro de Investigação em Materiais (CENIMAT) of FCT-UNL devoted to R&D
within the field of functional materials, materials science, engineering &
nanotechnologies, including their analysis and characterization, besides integration on
devices/systems. Since 2006, it integrates the national associate laboratory: Institute
for Nanostructures, Nanomodeling and Nanofabrication, I3N. The group has a strong activity in fab (e.g. PECVD, PVD, , spray pyrolysis) and non fab processes (e.g. sol gel,
inkjet) with strong experience in the development of materials for key enabling
technologies, almost by design, pioneering international research on full oxide
electronics as well as on paper electronics (Paper-e®). The international evaluations of
the R&D activity since 1996 have been classified as EXCELLENT. The leaders of the
group (R. Martins and E. Fortunato) are one of the most worldwide recognized
scientists in the field of novel oxide applications, with papers in the first position of the
25 Top read papers of science direct and invited for several top scientific
organizations. E. Fortunato was classified in first position in the recent advanced
senior research grants given by ERC in the area of engineers in its first edition.
ELVIRA FORTUNATO She is a Ph.D in Materials Science Engineering,
specialization in Microelectronics, since 1995 and full professor since
2012 at UNI. She pioneered European research on conductor and
semiconductor oxide materials deposited at RT to be used in electronic
and optoelectronic devices; inventor of paper transistor and
electrochromic transistor. She published over 420 SCI papers. She has
been awarded and invited for plenary talks worldwide thanks to her R&D achievements.
She has got an Advanced Grant, first edition 2008, from ERC in the amount of 2.25 M€
for developing new oxide materials. She filled 68 international patents mainly related
with new oxide semiconductors from which she granted 14. She is editor in the following
scientific journals: European Physics Letters; Rapid Research Letters; Applied surface
Science; Journal of Advanced Physics.
RODRIGO MARTINS He is a PhD, Microelectronics/Semiconductor
Materials), is full professor in the area of microelectronics and
optoelectronics at FCT-UNL, as well as the running president of EEMRS.
He is an expert in the area of Microelectronics and-
Nanotechnologies. Emeritus professor of Université of Orleans;
director and founder of CEMOP/Uninova, and president of the
council of Materials Science Department of FCT-UNL, since 1995, with more than 800
papers in the area of thin film technology, electronic and optoelectronic materials,
one of the inventors of the paper transistor and the memory transistor. He holds more
than 68 patents related to development of oxide transparent and electrochromic
materials and devices. His relevant expertise of interest for the project is cantered in
oxides fabrication, development and devices integration.
