“…MPGD: new developments and applications S. Levorato Mechanical Systems technologies, MEMS, has been attempted in collaboration with DAI Nippon Printing Co., Ltd., Japan: the use of different material, namely Si and SiO 2 , of more challenging geometrical parameters, not easily obtained by the standard PCB technology, and the process accuracy make it possible to obtain larger gain, better response uniformity and increased space resolution [25]. A graphene layer is ideally a membrane transparent to electrons and opaque to ions, namely an ideal tool for IBF control and it can also be considered as a gas separator within a gaseous detector: for instance, if applied to a MICROMEGAS the use of different gas mixtures in the drift and multiplication gaps can be envisaged.…”
