Microtechnology

One of the central requirements of modern times is to build products and its individual components as small as humanly possible; this approach applies to mechanic components and chips, as well as implants. By achieving this goal, products are usually lighter in weight, use less energy, are more cost efficient, have a whole range of different functions and may also be produced in huge bulks. This is where the Research Centre for Microtechnology plays a key role: it supports interested parties and companies with the development of various micro-technical production techniques and components of micro systems.

The core areas of the Research Centre for Microtechnology are:

• the development and production of micro systems
• the development of processes for micro-technical manufacture
• the research and development for industrial applications
• the fabrication of prototypes and studies on feasibility
• scanning electron microscopy and the analysis of materials.
