Nanofabrication Facility

Overview

The Nanofabrication Facility is a state-of-the-art cleanroom research facility equipped with an extensive toolset for nano- and micro-device prototyping and characterization. We are one of the ICN2’s core labs and our shared equipment may be used by researchers from ICN2, external universities, nonprofit organizations, government labs and industry. We also offer contract nanofabrication services performed by facility staff. We focus on the design and development of fabrication methods and techniques at the nanoscale for basic and applied research. By providing high quality services, we aim to support the fabrication and characterisation of nano materials and structures, and the integration of devices at all length scales. We also offer assistance and training to ensure researchers and other users are able to operate the available equipment safely and efficiently. We welcome researchers from all disciplines wishing to explore uses of micro- and nano-fabrication.

The ICN2 Nanofabrication Facility has received funds from the CENanoTech project. In turn, the CENanoTech projectThe CENanoTech project (ref.: 2015 FEDER/S-16) is funded through the call for the development of R&D infrastructures launched by the Regional Ministry of Economy and Knowledge, of the Generalitat de Catalunya, with funding received from the European Regional Development Fund. The project has also been co-funded by the Severo Ochoa Programme, granted by the back then Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness.
