Project title: Nanoinics phenomena and devices with oxide thin filmsNanoionics is known as a scientific and technical direction to fabricate micro and nano sized devices based on fast solid state ion conductors. The main concern of the research at EPFL was to design, fabricate and validate the concept of Nanoionics in MEMS actuation systems, Memory devices and Miniaturized electrochemical units.o Gadolinium doped cerium oxide thin films for Bio-MEMS applications∠ Defining the thin film processing conditions to obtain Giant electrostriction (GES) in Gd-doped ceria∠ Extensive device characterization to elaborate the mechanism behind GES∠ Electrostriction characterization (M31;f )∠ Dielectric spectroscopy- Colossal dielectric response∠ Electrical characterization - Varistor behaviour∠ Thin film microstructure characterization : X-rays, SEM, Raman Spectroscopy, TEM, AFM∠ Commissioning of a PVD deposition system (complete refurbishment)o Micro Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (uSOFCs) fabrication based on MEMS technology∠ Development of a new concept to make stable free-standing membranes (Patent in study)∠ Defining a systematic plan for device fabrication and characterization∠ Large clean-room fabrication :∠ Thin films deposition : Sputtering, evaporation, Atomic layer deposition (ALD)∠ Photolithography : Automatic, manual, mask design,...∠ Etching : Plasma etching, Ion-beam etching, Bosch process, wet etching,...∠ Metrology : AFM, SEM, thin film stress,...∠ Commissioning of electrochemical measurement setup, SOFC characterizationo Novel concept of fast ion conducting thin films in microelectronic Random Access Memories∠ Ideation, creation and implementation of the project∠ Establish an effective collaboration between involved laboratories∠ Process and device design for ReRAM microfabrication∠ Extensive Thin film processing and characterisation : TEM, XPS, Conductive AFM∠ Electrical characterisation
