FBK-CMM
WHERE INNOVATION IS LED BY R&D
FBK-Center for Materials and Microsystems is an applied Research Centre that
combines scientific excellence with the ability to exploit research outcomes and
results within national and international networks, aiming at optimizing the expertise
through open innovation.
FBK-CMM develops innovative solutions in the fields of materials, microsystems,
renewable energy and environment.
FBK-CMM accounts for 140 Researchers and Technicians and operates large scales
facilities for research and product industrialization including a Microfabrication Area
(ISO 4-5, ISO 9001), as well as the chemical-physical and analytical laboratory for
micro & nano material characterization (ISO/IEC 17025:2005).
F
FBK-CMM has more than two decades of
successful experience in collaboration with
business companies in the EU and abroad, a
portfolio of 18 patents has been generated
during past years. FBK-CMM’s long lasting
experience of collaboration with Industry is
supported by employees and management
having had direct experience in the hightech industry.

Competences of CMM and Application Areas
Research activities mainly focus on
materials, microsystems, renewable energy
and environment and relate to three main
application fields:
•
•
•
Materials & Interfaces
Theoretical models and computational
techniques;
Development of new materials and
interfaces;
Chemical-physical analysis of materials and
interfaces.
Devices & Microsystems
Design, fabrication, characterization and
packaging of innovative devices based on
silicon compatible technology.
In particular:
Silicon-based
devices
for
radiation
detection.
CMOS high-performance low-cost vision
devices;
Silicon-based photonics and custom MEMS
for radio frequency, biomedical, agro-food
and environmental applications.
Integrated systems
Study and development of innovative
solutions for renewable energies with a
special focus on energy re-use and zeroenergy buildings;
3D metrology applications based on
terrestrial, UAV, aerial and satellite
photogrammetry.
Main Facilities
Research areas are supported through
leading edge laboratories and facilities,
covering an area of about 2000 sqm. In
particular, the facilities supporting the
commercialization of innovative products
are certified according the international
standards such as the ISO 4 -5, ISO 9001
certified Clean Room and the ISO/IEC
17025:2005 accreditation and quality
management Chemical/Physical laboratory.

In order to support partners and
customers from research through volume
production along the entire product
value-chain of a silicon device, the CMM
has also developed strategic relationships
with external commercial foundries.
