Founded in 2003, Organic Spintronics is a spin-off company of the Italian National Research Council (CNR), Bologna Division.
Organic Spintronics is not only focusing its research on spintronics, but also in development and commercialization of advanced nanomaterials; tools and systems for thin film deposition.
Organic Spintronics also develops organic Knudsen cells that are suitable for thin film deposition of organic semiconductors, for use in plastic electronics and optoelectronics.

As a part of their developmental initiatives in the field of organic spintronics, the company has developed a pulsed plasma deposition (PPD) system for thin films deposition.
In the semiconductor industry, more and more processes are adopted to produce thin films.Thin films are thin material layers, in which the thickness ranges between a few nanometers to hundreds of nanometers. Thin film technologies face technological constraints due to the complexity involved in engineering of thin films.

Activities:

• Research on spintronics and nanomaterials
• Developement & commercialization of tools and systems for thin film deposition
• Developement & commercialization of advanced nanomaterials
• Consultancy and licensing

Carlo Taliani, CEO of Organic Spintronics says that the company has pioneered the research and developmental activities in the field of organic spintronics.
He also believes that the PPD may become a widespread industrial tool for the fabrication of thin films that have been previously only of academic interest.
