The MDM (Materials and Devices for Microelectronics) Laboratory is an Italian National Laboratory belonging to INFM, the Italian Institute for the Physics of Matter since 2006 part of CNR, the National Research Council. MDM is a state-of-the-art facility located within the STMicroelectronics complex at Agrate Brianza, near Milan (Italy), and its major research activities are focused on investigating the structural, electrical, optical and magnetic properties of materials for present and future nanoelectronics, as well as developing innovative processes and characterization techniques. The research activity carried out at the MDM Laboratory is a delicate balance among: - long-term actions aimed at the development of materials, processes, as well as advanced characterization techniques and methodologies for future scenarios in nano-electronics; - medium-term actions strongly connected with issues in these fields and with potential impact on the next generation devices; - short-term actions aimed at solving problems encountered by the industrial partner in its R&D and production activity.
