Emma Solà Marimon (Barcelona, 1998) is a Ph.D. researcher in the Power Devices and Systems (PDS) Group at the Institute of Microelectronics of Barcelona (IMB-CNM, CSIC). She obtained a BSc in Physics from the University of Barcelona (2020) and an MSc in Advanced Nanoscience and Nanotechnology from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (2021).

Her research focuses on advanced power electronic packaging structures and materials, with a particular emphasis on die-level interconnections. On the die backside, her work explores novel die-attach solutions based on the sintering of micro/nanostructured materials (e.g., Ag particles), including their characterization, processing, and testing. On the topside, she investigates packaging architectures that improve thermal dissipation and reduce parasitic inductance, such as double-side cooled power modules and chip-embedding structures. To enable these configurations, she has set up a technique for the selective re-metallization of power devices with thick copper layers using hard shadow masks.

Beyond her research activities, Emma has contributed to strengthening the characterization capabilities and packaging methodologies by developing different measurement and processing techniques, nowadays available at IMB-CNM. She also takes part in divulgation and equality initiatives, including giving talks and engaging in business forums aimed at student recruitment, with the goal of bringing power electronics closer to young and broader audiences.”
