The MEMS and Microsensors
Laboratory is a research group of the Department of
Electronics, Information Technology and Bioengineering of Politecnico
di Milano. Under the guide
of Associate Professor Giacomo Langfelder, inheriting the methodologies
of former Full Professor Antonio Longoni, the group focus is the
development of
novel sensors, in particular adopting CMOS
and Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) technologies. The
first pillar of the laboratory is to investigate, together with its
industrial
& research
partners, new sensing solutions and associated smart electronics,
enabling the creation of new technology-driven applications and future
market breakthroughs. At the same time, education of new generation of
researchers forms the second pillar. The main activities
of the group are summarized below:
- Conception, design, simulation and system-level modeling of novel MEMS devices (including accelerometers, gyroscopes, magnetometers, resonators, micromirrors, ultrasonic transducers...);
- Design of novel Filterless
Color Sensors
(including the sensing element, its optimization based on Color
Science, and the development of associated smart Active Pixels);
- Development of custom design VLSI circuits
enabling low-power operation of sensors, including front-end analog circuits, mixed signal processing and digitization;
- Characterization
and reliability testing at wafer-level as well as on bare
dies, through the development of custom setup, boards and instruments.
