CNOS offers design and manufacturing services for micro and nano devices. Thanks to the cleanroom laboratory and the facilities, it is possible to create devices maintaining very low levels of contamination. The applications offered are broad, from planar sensors to fiber optic sensors, microfluidic circuits and thin films. If you have a project in mind, contact us and we will find the most suitable solution for you and the technologies to develop innovative platforms.
The development of nano-photonic devices starts with the design with FEM numerical modelling techniques and is then completed with the manufacturing within the CNOS laboratories. For example, it is possible to realize sensors based on light-matter interaction to trigger plasmonic / photonic resonances, or of planar microwave antennas array. The powerful manufacturing capabilities is due to the versatility of the facilities tools, from electron beam lithography to reactive ion etching techniques, laser ablation and laser polymerization techniques.
The processes offered are characterized by:
Design and production of thin films on planar substrates and unconventional substrates, for custom applications, such as non-commercial filters, mirrors, one-dimensional gratings… We offer a wide choice of materials, from oxides to metals and semiconductors, with tolerances and accuracies on the processes that reach the Angstrom.

Design and construction of microfluidic circuits for different applications. Excellent quality of processing both on glass and polymeric substrates. Wide choice of geometries that can be created thanks to the integration of the different production processes and technologies present in our facilities.
The use of optical fiber for sensing applications is constantly growing. We offer design and manufacture services for optical fiber devices based on the “lab-on-fiber” paradigm, ie the ability to integrate true multifunctional laboratories on the tip of the optical fiber. We manufacture devices for point-of-care and diagnostic applications, as well as environmental and structural monitoring devices.

Measurement of the intrinsic properties of materials such as the refractive index and the reflection / transmission / absorption of materials and thin films. Thanks to the technologies acquired, it is possible to provide a complete and integrated service to combine information flows from different characterization stations, taking advantage of the multidisciplinary approach that characterizes our researchers.
Integrated service of material analysis, with the identification of elements (elemental analysis), verification of the presence of contaminants, to the dimensional and morphological analysis of complex surfaces and structures. Morphological analyses are provided with dimensional tolerances up to fractions of a nanometer.
