Nano-Structured Ferrolectric Films for Tuneable Acoustic Resonators and Devices

Project description


Materials, Equipment and Processes for Production of Nano-Photonic and Nano-Electronic Devices

Objectives: Mastering nanostructured multifunctional ferroelectric films for low cost mass production of microwave devices. The main focus will be concentrated on the development of the theory, fabrication processes and device demonstrators for functional validation of nanostructured multifunctional ferroelectrics films and components. Tuneable Thin Film Bulk Acoustic Resonators (TFBAR), varactors, and delay lines are typical components to be developed. The demonstrators will be developed for microwave communications applications. They are potentially useful for optoelectronics and sensor applications. The objectives are in line with FP6-2004-IST-NMP-2 (IST-NMP-3 Materials, Equipment and Processes for Production of Nano-Photonic and Nano-Electronic Devices), and address the field of intelligent manufacturing systems: nano-electronics science and technologies. Innovations include development of nanostructured ferroelectric films with engineered, radically new properties, exploiting new physical effects in nanostructured ferroelectrics in devices with new functionalities. Reduction of the temperature dependence, hysteresis, losses, noise and parameter drift along with increased long term stability and tuneability will be addressed. The capabilities of the nanostructured ferroelectrics will be demonstrated by functional validation in integrated nano-electronic microwave demonstrators. Tuneable TFBARs are one of the new devices with new functionality, which has no analogues in electronics industry. Main milestones: i) Development of industry relevant fabrication processes for nanostructured ferroelectric films with radically new properties ii) Validation via device demonstrators and circuit applications of the demonstrators iii) Generation of new knowledge in the physics, fabrication technologies. The project combines expertise in theoretical and experimental physics, materials science, manufacturing, device and system engineering
