The University of Louisville Micro/Nano Technology Center provides fabrication and design services for numerous MEMS, microelectronics, electro-optic and nanotechnology applications. Services begin at the device design level and continue through single-step processing, complete device prototyping and small-scale production. The center encompasses core facilities for micro/nano fabrication, packaging, metrology & test, including a 10,000 sq. ft. 7-bay. Class 100/1000 cleanroom laboratory designed by nationally renowned AGI consultants. The wide variety of micro/nanoprocessing tools and 10-plus years of operating experience make these state-of-the-art facilities popular not only with researchers at UofL and other universities throughout the Ohio Valley region, but with industry and government laboratories nationwide.
