WA Node - Australian National Fabrication Facility Limited

ANFF Western Australia

Home > Locations

Overview

ANFF WA provides a wealth of knowledge in advanced microelectronic, optoelectronic, and photonic materials, devices and systems. The node runs a complete, vertically integrated facility, from materials growth, through device design, fabrication and testing, to packaging and subsystem assembly.

The WA node is based at the University of Western Australia, Crawley. It incorporates the Microelectronics Research Group (MRG) in the School of Electrical, Electronic & Computer Engineering, led by Prof Lorenzo Faraone. The MRG provides a wealth of knowledge on advanced microelectronic, optoelectronic, and photonic materials, devices and systems.

Prof Lorenzo Faraone

Node Director

Lorenzo Faraone is a Member of the Order of Australia (AM), and a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (FIEEE), the Australian Academy of Science (FAA) and the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (FTSE). He has published more than 300 international journal papers on his research work, and supervised more than 40 PhD student completions. He is currently Head of the Microelectronics Research Group (MRG) at The University of Western Australia (UWA), and Director of the WA Node of the Australian National Fabrication Facility (ANFF). Prior to joining UWA in 1987, he worked primarily in the area of silicon CMOS-based microelectronics and non-volatile memory technology with RCA Labs in Princeton, NJ, USA. Since joining UWA he has worked on compound semiconductor materials and devices, including AlGaN/GaN HEMTs, HgCdTe-based infrared sensor technology and MBE growth, as well as optical MEMS technologies for infrared spectroscopy and imaging applications. His research activities also include mobility spectrum analysis techniques for magneto-transport studies, which allow the transport properties and mobility distributions of individual carriers in multi-layer/multi-carrier semiconductor systems to be determined.
