2 Matteo Rinaldi Page 2 Demonstrated AlN MEMS based oscillators operating at 1 GHz with extended dynamic range (up to 6 dbm driving power) and unprecedented phase noise performance (-90 dbc/hz at 1 khz offset and -170 dbc/hz phase noise floor). Demonstrated 1 GHz oscillators based on temperature compensated AlN MEMS resonators (temperature coefficient of frequency, TCF, ~ 3 ppm/k) with extended dynamic range and low phase noise performance (-85 dbc/hz at 1 khz offset and -170 dbc/hz phase noise floor). Demonstrated an innovative and high performance micro-ovenized MEMS resonator technology based on an AlN resonant plate and a suspended thin-film micro-heater separated by a sub-micron air gap (only 3 mw are necessary to operate the AlN resonator at ~100 C. Thermal time constant is in the order of 100s of s). Demonstrated the highest frequency (970 MHz) and best performance ever reported oscillator based on a micro-ovenized MEMS resonator technology (measured phase noise of -85 dbc/hz at 1 khz offset and -170 dbc/hz floor while operating the AlN resonator at ~100 C). Graduate Research Fellow in Prof. Gianluca Piazza s Group (PMaNS Lab).

Demonstrated large scale integration of nano-biocoating layers, such as Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes (SWNTs), ssdna functionalized SWNTs and thiol-terminated ss- DNA, with the NEMS resonant sensors. Demonstrated arrays of NEMS resonant sensors functionalized with ss-dna and connected to chip-based, low power, self-sustaining multiplexed oscillator (fabricated in the ON Semiconductor 0.5 m CMOS process) for direct frequency read-out. Demonstrated capability to selectively detect concentrations of explosive and toxic agent vapors in the part per trillion (ppt) range. Selected as finalist of the 2010 PennVention Competition and writing a business plan for SmartSense a start-up company aiming to bring to market highly differentiated sensor solutions, based on Aluminum Nitride Nano Plate Resonant Sensor (NPR-S) (proprietary technology - US patent application), for homeland security and proteomics analysis applications.
