GD Group

The team involved in graphene and Carbon Nanotubes based device for nanoelectronics activity running at the CNR-SPIN Salerno Unit, includes 2 researchers and 2 PhD students.

Dr. Antonio Di Bartolomeo, researcher at the Physics Department of Salerno, temporary at INTEL Corporation in Dublin, is the leader of the group, with large experience on semiconductor physics and technology. He has worked for STMicroelectronics, Infineon Technology and IHP Microelectrocnics and has been visiting researcher at Gorgetown University. His research interests include semiconductor field effect transistors, memory devices and carbon nanostructure for microelectronics and sensor applications.

Dr. Filippo Giubileo, researcher at CNR-SPIN Salerno, was involved since 1999 with fabrication and characterization of superconducting thin films and heterostructures and with the realization of tunneling spectroscopy experiments. Since 2001 he applied STM technique to study superconducting properties on nanometer scale of MgB2, doped MgB2, rutheno-cuprates, and e-doped cuprates. In 2007, he participated, with A.D.B., in new activities concerning the field emission properties of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. Recently the research activity concerns mostly with the fabrication and characterization of graphene-based devices, such as field effect transistors and memories, together with the characterization of CNTs as field emitters and as sensors.

Laura Iemmo is a PhD student at University of Salerno at her first year. The PhD activity focuses on the fabrication and study of tridimensional field-effect transistorwith channel made of graphene sheets.She discussed a master degree thesis on 2007 about "Study of transport properties of carbon nanotubes for the development of radiation detectors"In 2008 she worked at the District IMAST Scarl, in collaboration with ENEA, CNR, University of Salerno and University of Naples, on the design of polymeric electronic devices and related manufacturing equipment. Then she spent three years at the ENEA (Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development) working on the development of technologies for thermal solar energy at medium and high temperature.

Salvatore Santandrea is a PhD student at University of Salerno at his last year. His activity concerns with fabrication and characterization of carbon-based nanodevices. HE spent a period at the Microfabrication and Nanotechnology Lab in Georgetown University, Washington DC, USA, working on the fabrication of top- and back-gated graphene based field effect transistors. He spent also a period at Centre of Graphene Science, University of Exeter, UK, working on the fabrication of graphene nanotransistors using diamond like substrate that is not hydrophobic to improve the mobility of graphene.
