Chemnitz University of Technology – Center for Microtechnologies (ZfM)

The Center for Microtechnologies is a scientific research unit of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at Chemnitz University of Technology. It is a reliable partner in basic research, R&D projects and direct research and development contracts for industry. The current focus of our research fields is on:

  • 1D/2D Nanodevices
  • MEMS Technologies and Devices
  • Advanced Micro and Nano Patterning 
  • Spintronics and Interconnect Systems
  • Simulations in Nano Technology
  • Molecular-based micro and nano systems
  • Photonics/MOEMS
  • Nano-Packaging
  • Miniaturized plasma systems
  • Digital Twins in Semiconductor Production

The Center for Microtechnologies has clean rooms with an area of about 1000 m² (300 m² of which are clean room class ISO 4) and the corresponding equipment for processing and characterization of wafers with diameters of 100 mm, 150mm and 200mm. A modern and extensive infrastructure with industry-related processes enables smallest structure dimensions down to 20 nm for nanostructuring. 

Services:

  • Development of material, technology and functional demonstrators
  • Manufacturing of prototypes and small series 
  • Technology transfer to customers or foundries 
  • Education of students and PhD students
