Abstract: The Sensors & Devices (S&D) Centre at FBK in Trento Italy combines scientific excellence with the ability to enhance research results through an innovation model that is open to collaboration within national and international competence networks. Recently this has been enhanced both by the PNRR and the European initiatives of IPCEI ME/CT and the Chips JU Pilot lines, resulting in a renewal and enhancement of capabilities. The SD centre aims to deliver excellent research in sensors and devices based around silicon and other semiconductor micro and nano-fabrication. Core to deliampvering this is 1400 m2 (being expanded to ~2100 m2) ISO4-6 cleanroom which can both act for research and prototyping and deliver small-medium production of bespoke sensors and devices. Research activities are centred (but not exclusively) around the scientific pillars of quantum science & technology, space science & industry, big science (including HEP, samynchrotrons, high power lasers, fusion, etc) and health and the environment. S&D aims to stimulate innovation by building a networked system that involves companies, research institutes, universities, public entities, and end users. During the seminar, the speaker will describe current projects of the centre highlighting the active collaboration with different research infrastructures including the Department of Physics of the University of Milano – Bicocca, INFN, and CNR. The speaker has collaborated successfully with the department of physics for the past 15 years.
