Mission: scientific research and technological development of micromachined microwave and millimetre wave devices and circuits. The new RF MEMS technologies including ”membrane supported circuits” represent an emerging solution to manufacture high performance microwave and millimeter wave devices and circuits devoted to the new communication systems and sensors.

The laboratory is also involved in research to develop acoustic devices for GHz applications using micromachining and nano-processing of wide bandgap semiconductors (GaN/Si, AlN/Si and ScAlN/Si) and also on experimental devices based on graphene, two-dimensional materials, carbon nanotubes, ferroelectric materials and metamaterials.
