Instituto de Desenvolvimento de Novas Tecnologias

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.
