Goal:

To research, design, simulate and develop new micro - and nano-technology products for the aerospace, medical device, biotechnology, information technology, environmental, micro-electronics, materials and manufacturing industries.

Main Research Program Areas:

1- Micro/Nanoscale Devices

This program focuses on two areas:

• New micro/nanoscale devices for new product applications

• New micro/nanoscale devices for improving existing products.

2- Micro/Nanomanufacturing Equipment

This program focuses on two areas:

• Technologies for scaling up or mass production of micro/nanoscale materials and micro/nanoscale devices

• Technologies for increasing or improving productivity of micro/nanoscale measurements/metrology.
