CCS : Centro de Componentes Semicondutores ( Center forSemiconductor Components )
The Center for Semiconductor Components, CCS, is a multidisciplinary center, with emphasis onnanoelectronics, nanophotonics and microelectronics. In addition to the research in nano andmicrofabrication techniques, it also promotes a teaching enviroment for undergraduate, graduatestudents and external insitituitions. Its facilities are open for industry and research both at graduate andundergraduate level. CCS also provide services contract to other groups at UNICAMP as well as externalinstitutions

Conclusion and next steps
A new optically reconfigurable resonator design waspresented
Accurate and rigorous electromagnetic simulations usingHFSS 15.0 software made it possible to predict the behaviorof the reconfigurable resonator and validate the proposedtechnique
Next steps : optically reconfigurable tag construction,assembly and test
