The long term goal is to transfer to these photocathodes the know-how acquired in the successful development of cesium telluride photocathodes, nowadays used in many leading FEL facilities and accelerator complex. In this paper we present and discuss the results so far obtained on alkali antimonide films grown in our R&D system and the status of the new preparation system specifically designed for these sensitive materials.

The traditional techniques of buffered chemical polishing and electropolishing are here discussed taking into account the industrial environment, the practical issues due to the size and geometry of such cavities and according to the required qualification values for quality factor and accelerating gradient.

After having developed the electromagnetic and mechanical models, few prototypes have been produced and tested. Based on this experience, we are now supervisioning the cavity production at the industry, the resonators test at DESY and the delivery to CEA at Saclay. In this paper, we report on the status of the overall INFN-LASA contribution including also document handling, interface data exchange and QA/QC.

After developing the electro-magnetic and mechanical design, INFN-Milano started the prototyping phase by producing five single-cells and two complete 5-cells cavities. In a joint effort with Fermilab the road for the optimal surface treatment for such low-beta resonators has started in order to approach the existing state-of-the-art performances of beta 1 cavities. This paper reports the status of PIP-II activities at INFN-LASA summarizing manufacturing experience and preliminary experimental results.
