Research topics

ALUMINUM NITRIDE FILMS

C-axis oriented aluminum nitride (AlN) films are realized by using a magnetron sputtering system. Piezoelectric transducers based on AlN are investigated.

PIEZOELECTRIC ENERGY HARVESTERS

Investigations are performed by using a cantilever beam test configuration.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF MATERIALS

A coaxial specimen holder has been developed for the measurement of the shielding effectiveness of a planar thin film.
