Micro- and Nanotechnology

This programme focuses on the technologies involved in the miniaturisation of electronic and optical devices. Emphasis is put on current microtechnologies including the design and fabrication of microelectronic circuits, Microsystems and optoelectronics. In addition to these topics, students can specialise in nanotechnology and nanosystem design or in electronics production technology.

The programme offers studies in basic materials and circuit theory, processing, functional devices and characterisation. The miniaturisation of electronics into integrated circuits has been an international success story in the past decades. Currently, miniaturisation is used in mechanical, optical and chemical applications as well as for other functions. Another trend is miniaturisation to the nanometer scale.

After the common core courses, students can choose between different areas of specialisation:

• micro- and nanosystems
• optoelectronics
• semiconductor technology
• microelectronic circuit design
• electronics integration and reliability

In the programme, students are offered the great opportunity of studying in Micronova, a new and unique center for the design, development and fabrication of micro- and nanosystems.

The mission of Micronova is to develop innovative and enabling technologies, and to use these new possibilities in practical and commercial applications and systems in close
cooperation with industry. Micronova’s areas of expertise include sensors based on microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), optical and wireless sensors, wireless communications and photonics systems, biosensors and fluidistics, nano and quantum devices as well as millimeter wave and optical instruments for space applications. Micronova hosts the largest clean room facilities in Nordic countries.
