Descripción del proyecto
Materials, Equipment and Processes for Production of Nano-Photonic and Nano-Electronic Devices
Microelectronics and Photonics are two of the most important key enabling technologies for the markets of the 21st century. They influence our entire life and are technological drivers for multi-billion industry sectors such as automotive, telecommunication, life sciences, information technologies, sensing or industrial production by providing key components and applications. The MONA project will contribute to the coordination of photonics research with nanotechnology research. There are three principal objectives: � Create a common site for the exchange of information concerning research, networks of excellence, and integrated projects in photonics and nanotechnologies. � Promote the timely exchange of scientific results, market development, and technology needs through MONA-developed workshops. � Develop a European roadmap for photonics and nanotechnologies. The MONA project will coordinate FP-6 RandD programmes with relevant industries, with regional and national research programmes inside and outside Europe. Both photonics and nanotechnologies are highly multi-disciplinary fields, first from the point of view of applications, but also from the point of view of the enabling manufacturing tools and materials. The development of a viable commercial market will require a co-ordinated growth of science/technology, applications, and fabrication equipment/procedures. The Workpackages address: materials, technologies for manufacture, marketing, two-way relationships and exchanges with other nanotechnology research programmes, and a dissemination programme that emphasizes effective communications both inside and outside FP-6. The consortium consists of RandD laboratories, industry leaders and strategic planning organizations, with a broad complementarity and European coverage. This will ensure the building of a strategic comprehensive approach for the key technologies in order to shape the future of this highly important area for the European Union.
