The development of microsystems for telecommunications and characterization techniques has led to a growing demand for the release of the feasibility of the technologies needed, especially when very different features (electrical or electromagnetic, mechanical and chemical-physical) must be integrated in the same system. The definition of Smart System, coined to identify micro-and nano-systems characterized by high integration of components and functions, fully meets these requirements. Purposes of this research activity are to release the feasibility of micro-and nano-systems for telecommunications applications by: (i) identification of the criteria for optimization of technologies for different materials with each other, but integrated into complex configurations (Si and GaAs, LTCC and LTCF, Rogers / Duroid, magnetic materials, photosensitive polymers, ...), (ii) design and manufacture of innovative components, (iii) definition of the reliability of micro-and nano-systems according to their application, both for land and space for on-wafer and packaged devices.
