Scientific expertise |
Since 1995 his research activity has been focused on the study, production and characterisation of porous silicon (PS) layers for sensors and microsystems, in the new technological facility of the Quantum Research Laboratory. From 1997 to 2000 he has been the responsible of industrial projects with Italian firms like Olivetti Balteadisk and ST-Microlectronics on porous silicon micromachining for bubble-jet and Silicon On Insulator technologies. In the basic research activity, from 1999 he started the first studies on interaction between Nitrogen Dioxide and Porous Silicon, contributing to clarify the phenomenon of NO2 chemisorption and boron impurities reactivation in mesoporous silicon and leading to a number of high impact factors papers and citations until today. |

Capabilities |
Senior Technologist at Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica, Division Advanced Materials Metrology and Life Science. Head of Nanofacility Piemonte INRIM.
Since 2007 his research interests moved to nanofabrication by electron and ion beams and by self-assembly of single nano-objects and more recently (2012) diblock copolymers. At the moment he is involved in research on silicon nanowires, memristive switching devices, quantum devices and reference materials and nanostructures for surface analysis.
Since 2012, his activity on nanofabrication has been requested in a number of European Metrology Research Projects, in particular for the realisation of sample models and standards of length at the nanoscale and micro and nanostructures for Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy, X-rays and surface analysis techniques. Since the same year, he developed a new approach to nanolithography on large area, using self-assembly of single nano-objects and polymeric |
